Hey Lord widder, what foam thickness are you using? From the pic it looks like a combination of 6mm and 2mm. Great job btw!
Hello I would like to inquire about where you can buy the kind of foam which you use to create your costume, or you can buy them in upholstery or in some stores building, looking at the armor of foam resin, enough light and also quite stiff.

Hello,
i am not sure about the foam he used, but generally this stuff is called EVA Foam
or cellular rubber, expanded rubber, foam rubber, foamed rubber, sponge rubber.
You can buy it on Amazon, Ebay or most art supply shops.

Using some of the tips and tricks from this thread i made my Grif armor, wich made a debut on concomics a few weeks ago
Recently a friend invited me to a batman cosplay group for december's concomics, i decided to do a red hood cosplay (on a budget), after days of insanely looking for a red hood pepakura file (that was for free of course) i was considering using the injustice or deathstroke mask, but then i saw the multi-hero cowl (blue beetle) and decided to work on that, sadly i ran out if foam, so i'm improvising
So far so good!

As mentioned, it's the multi-hero (Blue Beetle) cowl. The download link for this and JF's other unfolds is in the first post of this thread.

I haven't done much pepakura, but I've found that if you plan on getting resin on it hot glue can cause "dry spots".
Super glue works pretty decent so far for me, but the dry time/absorption is a bit of a bummer.
I'd say stick with hot glue if you can keep it to small amounts.
I got it pretty thin working on the resin now. I tried super glue at first but like you said the absorbtion was quite difficult to deal with. I even had the medium thickness and it was still rough going so as aforementioned I hot glued instead. The outside has very little squeeze out and the inside is pretty minimal so I think I should be ok? Hopefully haha

Yeah you should be fine, especially with fiber-cloth to hold the seams and everything else.
