For the helmet I'm making, I covered it with Worbla (Worbla's Finest Art | Thermoplastics for craft, cosplay, and anything you can imagine!), and after I put mastic.Also... Is there a way to hardener the EVA foam ? Anyways I am just experimenting here.
I have only used these to mats for quick builds like helmets. I brought a few rolls to test them out but I noticed it hasn't got a flat surface so I just made a few items to see they are.
The over all quality of the mat is great. This is by far the easiest mat to work with, I have used about 5 different types of mats. Hoever the best mat in my opinion is still plastazote.
These are my plastazote foam builds.

Its the sanson universal the same one jf uses. Got it on amazon. Thnkling posted a link to it. Get 2! That thing really works. Just constantly sharpen as you go.Mig could you post a pic/where you got yours from? I've got one but it sucks.
I've fiberglassed EVA foam and it makes a nice hard shell. It'll destroy any detail that you created, though. I usually just use it on smooth shapes.Also... Is there a way to hardener the EVA foam ? Anyways I am just experimenting here.
