Hello all,
I made a casket for the yearly halloween display out of the pink home depot foam. What I am wondering, is there a product I can brush or spray on it to make it hard
Thanks.

Thanks for the replies.
Is that the same as fiberglss resin and would you use the stuff that makes it kick quicker or not?

URESHELL
Has a 25 minute working time after the hardener is mixed it may kick faster depending on the temp
of the URESHELL and room temp
I have also mixed in smooth-on color tint to URESHELL and it works fine
you can also hand lay fiber glass cloth into URESHELL
and it can be brushed into a silicone mold its about as thick as latex paint
after a brushed coat is applied let it get set to a rubbery stage, apply a second caot
then put in your fiber glass cloth, let that coat set up then brush in your coat over the
exposed fiber glass cloth

check with rileyreplicas. i talked with him a few weeks back and he mentioned an acrylic? sealer that worked out to make a foam block pretty much just shy of bullet proof.
the phrase "i drove over it with my car" from out conversation stands out a good bit in my mind :lol

Most firberglass resin is Polyester (although you can use Epoxy) and will melt foam, he specifically mentioned Epoxy...
