    Another thing, if you have a 3D printer you can use one of those :>, once you have the printer itself the filament is fairly inexpensive and you can keep doing it over and over again until you find the type you like.

  • @acegirl65
    @acegirl65 Місяць тому

    I've been looking for tips to paint a mask I'm making using the eva form. This is my first time at it, so my question is, when applying the heat-gun to the foam, do I spray the Plasti-Dip immediately while to foam is still warm, or do I have to wait for foam to cool down first?

    • @CosplayApprentice
      @CosplayApprentice Місяць тому

      The heat gun helps close the pores on the surface of the Eva foam, resulting in a smoother surface and one that is easier to paint on as all the pores won’t be soaking up your paint. No need to try and plastidip while it is still warm it will stay sealed after the heat gun pass. You can actually see the foam get a little more of a sheen to it as it heat seals. Just don’t hold the heat gun in any one place for too long, or too close to the foam because you cold risk burning the foam :)

    On large, difficult pieces, I use parchment or wax paper between the two pieces of glued EVA until I get the foam lined up correctly, then carefully and incrementally pull the paper out as they make permanent contact.
