UK Alternative to Plastdip
Hi guys
Plastidip in the UK is £15 a can which is the equivalent of 20+ dollars. And it seems in the US it's really cheap! Is there a cheaper alternative or any proven methods used by UK members? I'm making a Thor costume out of foam and need something prior to painting the chest armour and gauntlets. Please help! |
