Awesome info, going to try out glaze puty on my granddaughters chest piece tomorrow. Thanks for tip. Keep them videos coming!

[@naterritchey19]

Good luck buddy! It works great!

[@MaxWildlifePhotographer]

Really liking that shallow depth of field 😎

[@naterritchey19]

Thanks bro🤙

[@arunkhanna2496]

I had no idea about the acetone!! Thank you!

[@naterritchey19]

You're welcome!

[@Invaderjason123]

Awesome work! Would like to see the part 2 for this helmet where you finish it up and mold it.

[@naterritchey19]

Might be doing that😉

[@Senbonzakura776]

Rad vid...currently sanding down 3 helmets.

[@naterritchey19]

May the sanding gods be in your favor my friend 😆

[@bryanmclarty5140]

Cap, excellent narrative and great instruction technique. I’m ready to start my Mando helmet!

[@naterritchey19]

Thanks buddy! 🤎🤙

[@malcolm4k270]

Thank you so much! I’m new to 3d printing just got a mask, 2 in 2 filler and 150 to 600 grit sandpaper. Waiting on my red filler to come that you used in this video. Do I need acetone? Seen other tutorials where people just put the red paste on without acetone.

Great video

[@naterritchey19]

Thanks brother! Hope you're doing well my friend 🤙

[@anthonybrown8850]

Good job, I've done a full mandalorian suit, took a while but looks great on a mannequin in my office

[@naterritchey19]

Thanks bud!

[@anthonybrown8850]

@@naterritchey19 I just used this method on a stormtrooper helmet, has to be best method I've used yet, awesome 👌

[@naterritchey19]

That's awesome! Glad you like it bud🤙

[@syahirhalim5921]

Can I applied plastic wood filler to my pvc helmet material?

[@bryanmclarty5140]

I’m trying this! I couldn’t really tell if during the application phase, after it’s on the part, you don’t want to see any print lines through the bondo/acetone mix, correct? If you can see them, you need to apply a little thicker or a second layer?

[@naterritchey19]

You want to sand down to where you see lines. You basically building up the low areas to meet thr highs. Usually takes a couple coats but dries super fast. That's the big advantage to this method over something like coating it in epoxy resin.

[@scotoe]

Benefits to the spot putty versus epoxy resin besides the time savings?

[@naterritchey19]

Easier to sand, more control and doesn't cover details. I'm sure there are more but the time saving part is the biggest and the best benefit.
