Don't worry brother, you're not by yourself. There's not many wives that would appreciate a Han in Carbonite on their wall. That's why guys have man caves !!!
I’m using Elmer’s glue. I’ve read a few other threads on here with it and I just wanted to try it. The bondo would have been more expensive and harder to deal with I think. Lots of sanding. I’m hoping the glue will just work itself into place better.
These are are a series of videos of the “Carbonite “ layering for the final effect. It took a long time for the main glue to dry so I had to wait.
Anyway i just spread the glue at different depths and then manipulated it around with a piece of card board. I’m now waiting for this to dry. Fingers crossed.
This should be the third and final coat of the glue to create the carbonite effect. As long as it looks good tomorrow I think I will be onto sanding and painting han.
I also replaced aced the panel openings on the sides and filled the gaps so it looks more seem less when the panels are put back in.
Hmmm... I have a piece of sheet metal but haven't cut it yet. I was thinking of making one solid backing piece, but you made many smaller pieces. What is the advantage of that? Seems like it might be a little more work, but would probably fit flatter.

Looking Really NICE there 5-0 !! Would it be possible to cut out the openings in the panel and put one oversize piece of metal that would cover everything and epoxy it in place on the perimeter and any other areas ?
