Re: Iron-Man MKVII FOAM WIP [UPDATES]
I second that idea.... I'd also like to try that acrylic emulsion you've been using (if I can find an equivalent here in the states), the finish looks great!
yes good idea i wana find acrylic emulsion also cuz modge podge and plastidip get expensive.
I'll be having a little tutorial soon on sealing/priming foam. . .to look as close to fiberglassed builds :lol not by using the acrylic emulsion, I only use that thing when doing fast-paced builds just like my other IM foam costumes and commission, although looks cool, I'm satisfied with the finish until I used Epoxy Primer last week on my Mark 7 helmet.
Usage of epoxy primer in foam costume building is mainstream here in the Philippines (I think), a popular costume maker here in the Philippines introduced to me this epoxy primer to seal/prime my foam costumes last May 2013, I
never used this until last week when I decided to take it a shot. Surprised with the results, I decided to seal/prime my other unsealed pieces left.
All I need to do is to sand each piece using a 100 grit and 400 grit sand paper so smoothed them out. Yes, epoxy primer can be sanded when dried. And originally, this can be applied using a paint gun (air-compressor), but can also applied using brush.
The thing is. . .it cracks unnoticeable overtime.
Gonna get back working on this sometime next week since I'm on the painting stage of the Iron-Patriot commissioned suit now. Thanks for viewing.
