Grouse, cheers fallimar! Yeah I've had no luck at Spotlight mate. I'll suss out ebay though (otherwise I'll just DIY it with some PVA, clag 'n H2O haha). Also Bunnings is a quick trip around the corner so I might grab a pot of that Parfix stuff and order some Tanners Bond.
Blimey! It's probably just my native Victorian tongue. However the use of the crudely abbreviated Australia ("'Straya") in bogan dialect really grinds my gears. I might be a bit of a knucklehead but strewth mate... *shakes fist*
I like 'Pasti-Dip' but I'm always on the hunt for alternatives/equivalents (the cheaper the better :darnkids). I've used 'Rust Oleum' products before, great brand. I'll defiantly give his 'Peel Coat' a crack. Cheers again!
P.S. If you think of anything else just drop me a line.

hahahahaha of course! :cheers
Anyway, "banana" jokes aside, do you think you'll be uploading any photos to your facebook on the progress of the turtle shell? I'd be keen to see the progress.
Well I am currently using Kwik grip which is also a contact adhesive. I've just built a helmet using a small tube to test it out. It's pretty good and works exactly the same. Tough as as well - tried to pull some test bits apart and ended up ripping the foam a fair way back from the seam. very flexible as well.

As for Modge Podge and a sealer, I just use PVA with a little water if it's too think. Just grab some from Bunnings while you are there.
I've used Plasti-dip for past work and it's not too bad. Can get cans of it from Autopro now. Never tried any other similar alternatives.
About to give Smoothon 65D a go for coating some stuff - so will see how that goes.
No worries mate, no rush. Look forward to seeing the results!
Cheers Dezziedc! I'll see what Bunnings have in stock. Gonna experiment with a few of the brands that have been suggested so far and attempt to write up a definitive "Australian Craft Shopping List" when I'm done. Let us know how the Smooth-n stuff works for you. I've used their resins and silicon, great products.
P.S. I gather you'll be ordering the 65D from Rowe Trading?
