EVA foam armor coating

[Cieszlak]

What is the best flexible coating for EVA foam armor? I've used plasti dip previously on other projects but have been wondering if there are any other spray coatings that could be more durable.
I've been thinking about Krylon Automotive Truck Bed Coating. Has anyone ever used this?

For plastic coating you can use Impasto1 Acrylic gel by Lascaux.No chemicals needed and doesn't crack for what I've understood.To retain flexibility, mix with white wood glue / PVA. I will check the ratio for you tomorrow for both ingredients should you wish to apply this method

Okay, I dug up the instruction video and will send it to you asap.

From what I gathered from the video, for rubber coating: small portions 3/4 glue, 1/4 acrylic gel (any brand apparently, but Lascaux is a good example)
For a whole bottle 750 grams glue, 20-40ml gel.

For plastic coating use gel only, since PVA adds flexibility to coating.

1).Mix gel and little bit of warm water
2).Add gel and extensively mix / stir
3).Preferably use foundation brush (for make up) as to leave no brush strokes.

All credit for this method goes to Cyehra

I've started to move to Flexbond. It may take a while longer to apply it to armour than Plasti-dip (unless you can spray it on), but it's pretty durable, flexible and in Australia it's much cheaper than a $30 can of Plasti-dip. Plus you can also wet-sand it down to make it smoother, or even add texture as you apply it.
