Some New Swag for a Fabulous Caving Experience!
So, I decided that plain white was not the color for me for my caving helmet. I did teh works for this beast, and yes, I made sure to keep the "Hodag-proofness" in the helmet. Pics to be posted later. I may even post instructions on how I made my $6.92 hard hat from Lowes look like a real $3,549.94 caving helmet.
Awww Crap!!! So, I get home today from work and figure I will put the last coat of clear coat on the helmet right? Doh! Turns out, if you let clearcoat dry for two days, and then come back and put another coat on, it starts to wrinkle...Now my shiny helmet looks like a shiny prune...I guess I need to post a picture now.
Well, this is another cell picture, and it doesn't really do all my hard work any sort of justice, but this is what the beauty looks like. Who knows, I may even polish it friday night...get more of those water/mud shedding properties into it. Only time will tell...
