Well, I dropped my MK V dive helmet on the concrete patio while sanding it, and broke it. This opened up a lengthy crack over the top of the helmet. After taping up the outside of the crack with painter’s tape, I added fiberglass to the inside of the helmet. Next, I’ll add more body filler to the crack on the outside of the helmet.

MK V Dive Helmet – refining the bottom rim
Once the cardboard base was pulled away, the rim around the bottom needed some reinforcement and shaping. I’m using a hobby wire mesh to define the edge, and then some more body filler to cover that. I cut the mesh with regular household scissors, then folded it over the bottom edge.
