I haven't had a chance to use Perma- Wet yet, so in regards to the cardboard question, I can't help ya out. I'd try a couple of test pieces.

There is this thread which talks about it a bit and gives some tips for making your own.

Monster Makers- Perma Wet
in the states,
and Sculpture Supply- Perma Wet
In Canada.

Not sure about the rubies mask LED questions either. Sorry. Hope that helps a bit.

Where in Socal are you? ...there are many FX supply houses that sell alternatives to permawet. V-Gloss is basically the same thing ..a shiny sealer..sold at Nigels in North Hollywood. Maybe be a bit more specific with the card board question ..what exactly are you trying to do? there might be other solutions. As for the LED question ..anywhere you can drill a hole, you can probably install lights. Ask Predtrhuntr if he has any LED kits left ...

Nope - I have no LED's left and I'm gonna be too busy to make more any time soon unfortunately

Perma-Wet is mainly used to protect flexible latex masks. It's designed to flex with the latex. Since you're working with cardboard and/or foamies, you don't need Perma-Wet. I'd recommend using some kind of polyurethane craft varnish instead. That should probably be adequate for painted cardboard, and you can find it at a local craft store.
