Re: Robo3687's IRON MAN Mark 4/6 Pepakura FOAM Templates -Easy to Build "Green" Versi
Don't apologize at all! I very much appreciate the help
I aim to have my suit as smooth and shiny as possible, and I'm hoping to overcome the texture of the foam somehow. I'll be interested to know how yours turns out! It looks awesome so far
Hey, thanks a lot. as much as like to be able to answer all your questions, this is my first build and im coming up against these issues too. from what I've done so far, the pva takes away some of the foam texture, but nowhere near all of it (but it will depend on the type of foam. Im not sure, but doing a couple of coats of diluted glue MAY help this.
As for the plastidip... im yet to use it, but from what i can gather from available sources, it is just a "rubber" paint, which is more flexible and less likely to crack than regular paint paint/primer. so far I've used normal primer on top of pva and it hasn't cracked yet.. if any of the experienced boy wanna jump in and correct me, id be happy to hear the truth !
Sorry im not more help.
