How to do fiberglassing to make a more rigid ball for my BB-8 (v2) droid. The ball is just a cardboard globe, and with the weight of BB-8's drive system inside, the globe deforms a lot. After showing step-by-step how I put 3 layers of fiberglass on the globe, it's now so rigid that I don't notice any deforming.
