- Glazing is a simple technique used by painters and professional body shop workers to fill larger imperfections that high build primers wont cover.
I will putting out a video very soon on using an alternative glazing putty, as the Eastwood brand may be hard to get in some areas. I have included a link for USC Pro Glaze. I have used it in the past and it is available on Amazon. I just purchased some, when it arrives I will make sure to update everyone on how it works and share in a video.

Subbed, great video format, only as long as it needs to be with constant good info and good demos!
thank you
You are direct and to the point. Easy to follow and not long and drawn out. Subscribed! Do you have a video on how to get the correct sizing for helmets to fit you?
Ill try to find the link, but I watched a video a long time ago that explained a real easy way. You download sizing heads from thingiverse and import them into your slicer with your model and just upscale your helmet until it fits the head. The sizing heads come in different sizes based off ball cap or forehead size. Ill look around for it. its super simple. you can even make your helmet transparent in your slicer, so you can see if anything is rubbing.

@@TheLastLayer111 thank you. Looking forward to your future content.
I liked your video, I came to the new channel.
I predict great success for you!
Thank You
The previous commentator mentioned he came to your new channel, what was your original channel. You obviously know a Lot about 3D printing.
On most of your helmets, do you use glazing putty on the top and then paint on the primer like your first video. I have switched from putty to uv resin. Find it’s a lot less messy and seems to speed up the processing for me. I must say your storm trooper helmets in your first video have a crazy gloss finish. If you could do a video on how you mask to keep paint from bleeding. For example, the black brim on the white helmet. Keep up the great content.
Yes, you can think of the HB Primer as a "thinner" filler. glaze kinda fits in between Bondo and HB Primer. The glaze is for filling the larger blemishes in one step, that primer wont.
Resin has its place but, If you are going for an extremely high gloss finish, you will have to do some sanding. Glazing compound is designed to be sanded. If you choose to sand resin, you have to make sure that it is 100% cured. Small uncured resin particles can be extremely detrimental to you health, this can be hard to ensure on larger prints. I switched to glaze, as I feel, it sands much easier and sets up to sand very fast (in minutes), sand, quick wipe, and on to the next step.
Im going to continue this build, and will be most definitely posting a video on masking methods. Stay Tuned .. and have fun..
Great video.
When do you know to use this technique instead of priming first ?
I always glaze the big imperfections first. The high build primer will cover most of the imperfections, but areas where there were supports or the top of a dome, leaves bigger imperfections that the primer typically can cover in one coat. You can prime first then glaze (if needed), I have done it both ways.
Think of glaze as a thin Bondo. it dries super fast and sands easier in my opinion.
Hi do you have a link to this compound please?
It is made by Eastwood industries, Im out of town for work, but as soon as I get home I will add the link to the description.
And the name of the Glazing Compound is ?
Its Eastwood industries, ill see if I can add it to the description.
You mispelled "like a newbie that has no idea" wrongly in the title
Lol.. Probably
The whole time watching it I was screaming, “Kill the fly!”
Lol.. The whole time I was filming I was thinking "please don't land on the clear coat". Unfortunately that happens every now and then.
This guy, NOT a pro.
