As far as I understand, floral foam is the worst kind of foam you can use from a health point of view. Mask while cutting, vacuuming well, and glue/paint coating is probably a good idea.
Glad to see you back at terrain build! I liked your terrain and mini crafts on Dankest Dungeon, and have really been missing your vibe and style in the craft side of things! Subscribed because I'm excited to see more of what you create!
Thank the algorithms for showing me your video. Not sure about flora foam for the reasons mentioned in the other comments. What are the other non-styrpfoam foam blocks people like for terrain?
I am pleasantly surprised to see the project be so successful. I have heard in the past that the floral foam can be difficult to work with. How did you find it to be?
As far as foam goes, I would say it was easier to work with than the styrofoam used in packaging (that stuff makes such a mess!), but not as easy to work with as XPS foam :)
Great techniques and great results (You got a sub from me), but man, that non-beaded floral foam is notorious in crafting circles...Apparently it gives off some seriously dangerous dust and vapors when heated (like during the hot glue gun stage), so take Jason's mask warning to heart, and watch your eyes, too. The ring looks like different stuff, before it was a "Mysterious Ancient Ring of Doom"-(trademark pending) was it beaded styrofoam (EPS)?
Good to know! No matter much much I google the safety of the stuff I couldn't find anything saying it was dangerous at all, other than that you probably shouldn't eat it. The ring is also marketed as floral foam, but not the crunchy stuff.
@@PerilsintheWarp Yeah I totally agree. Since it's the internet it's hard to tell who's overreacting and who's pushing an agenda...From what I've gathered: 1) Everyone agrees it's really bad for the environment, so don't flush it. 2) Both the dust and the fumes are toxic to breathe in and can irritate the eyes, but it's probably safe in the amounts that your average crafter would be exposed to. If you worked in a floral shop or a factory where they make it that's probably a different story. I'm curious as to it's durability... I mean it's main deal is that it can hold 10x it's weight in liquid. Did it take forever to dry? I figured the PVA probably sealed up the outer shell but is the middle still smooshy?
It's definitely not good for the environment, especially ocean life from what I have gathered, so if you buy any be sure to get some good, long use out of it and pass the terrain down to someone else when you're done with it instead of trashing it! The base coat does need to dry overnight, takes a good long while to dry that first coat. I've only played one game of 40K using it so far, and it held up well. But I imagine if you were to step on it or something like that, damage would definitely be a thing. It's also still susceptible to being poked/stabbed, but that's a problem for foam in general.

Ugh i can't stand flora foam ( too dusty not very strong ) but hell yea good job.
Very caustic. Should never use.

Nice! Definitely a lot more on the way 😀

Most of this was on point. I culd go into detail with my personal experience.

This looks great! I like the color choice.
Thanks! Trying to match the channel's color scheme :)
nice job
Surebonder or bust with hotglue guns
Your video production is amazing!!! Love the terrain too!!! Looking forward to seeing more!!!! 😊❤😊
Thank you 😊
@@PerilsintheWarp you are welcome 🤗
Wonderful content! Just binged all your stuff, looking forward to more
Glad to hear it!
Only commenting for Al Gorithm's appeasement
these look great! im new to terrain building but i really wanna give this a go 😄
I don't know how your production is this good! Well done. Is this your first channel? It feels like a video from a channel with 100k subscribers 😁
I have another channel that does Magic gameplay videos (The Dankest Dungeon), thats where I learned to do all the production stuff ;)
@@PerilsintheWarp well good work, this channel looks like it'll be very successful 😄
Thank you :)
