[firebapx]

most americans call it elmers or i think thats the brand made a predator bio mask and i stuck it together with pva i need to know what i can do any help please guys

most of the foam builds on here are coated with pva then resined before fiberglassing, so the short answer is yes you can but i dont think it would turn out very good if you skipped that step

iv heard resin dissolves pva so itll fall apart

I put resin on my pep helmet that had 4 coats of pva on and it was ok

Hey firebapx, I ONLY use Elmer's on the tabs for every pep project I've done. I have never had a single issue with the fiberglass resin interacting in any way with the Elmers.

You should be good to go.

I coated a foam mannequin head with pva then added resin an fiberglass mat and did my sculpting head armature
