When doing abs, you are using the positive mold (obviously) but when using the negative mold you can use a two-part plastic. Some use resin, some use fiberglass. In the end, its really all the same thing imo. My first hockey masks were resin, and I really like the feel of resin. Very thick, and feels like a real hockey mask.
However, the downside to resin hockey masks (which both Spaz and Mike know) is that they can break very easily if not taken care of. That is why most makers use abs nowadays, its more accurate ofcourse, but its also more reliable.
(If Im wrong about any of this, let me know dudes. I like to learn new things, its all a part of the hobby to me)
