What heat gun did he use
How well does it do on hot days? I just saw this video and would like to know if there are some issues with it deforming during hot days.
If it reaches super high temperatures like 150degreee Farenheit or so, it can soften and deform. The only time I’ve had a problem was a sword backsheath I made and that I painted black was sittting in the back of someone’s car in direct sunlight through the back window in the middle of the summer on an almost 100 degree day and because it was a thinner piece too it deformed and slumped. Other than that, I haven’t had a problem, even with other props that weren’t black in the same situation survived :). Hope that helps
What about sewing the Foam to itself, rather than fabric or a textile?
Thanks a lot for the tips! Just got into foam clay molding after mistaking it for regular air-dry clay at the dollar store, and it has definately been a discovery ^__^- I find out that it's quite simmilar to working with fondant, specially regarding how it sticks and behaves with hydration. One tip I use is working on a sprayed plastic sheet, so that the piece does not stick. You can also spray stamps so that they don't stick for texturing.
How long does your product last?
If you don’t leave the bag or tub open to the air and seal it up whenever your not using it, it has about a 1 yr shelf life in our experience :)
Would this work for large cosplay horror masks??
Small space
You just saved me

Contact cement
I literally worked for a cosplay company from Midwest USA, and I fought with my co-workers over this. We kept our cans near the door, all year round, didn't warm them before use, and other than me, they were proponents of the "small coats". They had a bit more luck with it than others, but I never liked how their stuff turned out: not smooth enough for me. But they also had a huge 40K history, where having those details really just adds to the grittiness of the characters/costume/theme.
Thanks for your comment! :) I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one. Did you ever notice a difference in finish with using the different colors of plastidip? I had a couple times where I was trying a white plastidip and it seemed to give me more problems than the black. It could have been a fluke but I didn’t get more white to try. :)
@@CosplayApprentice I'll be honest, I started with black and almost never deviated. Only grabbed grey when there was nothing else and I had a big project. Haven't really touched glossifier either, tbf. I just throw Rust-Oleum clear gloss over top!
@weebjeez Nice! I’ve mostly stuck with black too but was trying to save some time on a build that was gonna be white and tried it out but it ended up costing more time :/ haha. I haven’t used the glossifier either :)
@@CosplayApprentice lolol~ I feel like no one in the community trusts it enough to even try it!! Though, everyone I know was using spray paint and Citadel pigments, so what do I know? Maybe my circle were just the 'scrappy" ones, lololol~
I use the dollar store for all kinds of stuff. Seriously, $1 for a switch/button, LED light, and batteries included(most times) I think I'll give your wheel of chance a spin and see what happens next.
Totally!! Pretty awesome deal right!?! :). That sounds great! Let me know how it goes! Can’t wait to hear what you make! :)
Can you make hiccups armor wings pls
GLUEEEE
I don’t have Cheerios box in Australia. Does this work with Fruit Loops too?
Haha :) no problem, yeah, should work with any type of cereal box :)
all your instructions and information make alot of sense !! thank youuu !!
Thank you so much for your comment! :). That makes my day to hear that the videos are appreciated :)
Seal! This is amazing, thank you so much, now i can complete my Xenomorph cosplay and freak out the neighborhood😆
Awesome!!! So glad the video was helpful! :)
Is it ok to use surfactant instead of glycerin?
Very useful, thanks
glue
Can u use it to make cosplay items like wands and stuff??
easy peasy!
Thanks, this was helpful
Seal. I've been stumbling my way through my first EVA foam build. Guides like this are incredibly helpful!
So glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching! :)
Really enjoy your videos. Helpful links. Good use of humor. All the information is organized and easy to understand. Please make all the content. Paint. If you ever get into 3d printing please make some tutorials.
I just got a 3D printer, maybe I’ll have to look at doing some videos once I figure it all out :)
Clean
Thin
tbh if I could sew velcro to EVA foam, that would get rid of so many glue problems for me
This is amazing! I'm absolutely going to use this technique for the Armor of Moonbasking in BG3! Thanks 👍
That sounds Awesome!! So glad this technique was helpful! :)
Thank you! That video was super helpful, I was breaking my head trying to figure out how to make this 😅
How durable is this stuff? Say I made a hollow suppressor (for airsoft) the size of a salvo 12 shotgun suppressor… gonna break super easily? How does this stuff react to UV lights?
so much info online in forums and reddit basically stating: "no!!!! you cant us IPA to thin acrylic paint. It makes it gummy yada yada yada" then i see this wtf?! thank you for this video! :)
Peppy Le Pew! (No idea who that is lol) Thank you a TON! I almost gave up on even attempting my first cosplay project, because the toxicity of contact cement scares me (even with safety equipment) and the cost of everything was too high of a commitment for a literal 1-time-use. (The only reason I even need to glue foam is for a simple breastplate) I'm so glad to know that hot glue also does the trick! I'll definitely check out Lost Wax!
You see.. I needed this video for a highland sword. Flame yes, good tip thanks, I’ll do that. The rubbing I don’t think I can do 😅
how much VG for a 400ml bottle? 25 drops or so?
You don't have any issues with your tip clogging? I try to screen it before I use it so that it doesn't happen. Maybe it's just the paint I'm using, idk. I'm using Apple barrel brand
This guy knows what he is talking about. I’ve been doing some research on improving plasti dip. I’m a painter and it’s unique in the way it acts and cures. But listening to his advise and things like warming the can up are things that told me this guy is someone who I can trust for advise.
Thank you for your comment!! :) I appreciate it! :)
Hinge
why didn't u do it to actual foam?
Is it quick drying ?
What magnets do you use? I don't want them to be too strong nor weak
How much water do you fill the glass jar? Will it be the level o the black plastic below the filter?
is a Sanding paper an alternative if I don’t have/ have access to a dremel?
