I am having difficulty on the corners. I do not think that I can really make styrofoam bend like that. I cut the front pieces every two inches, but they keep popping off of the back piece, which is breaking. Should I apply a layer of resin and fiberglass to the back just to shape the styrofoam? Should I then fill in the gaps with Bondo? I do need the Tyvek suit and respirator any time that I work with resin, right?

Thank you very much!
