Thank you for making a tutorial that doesn't just gloss over all the issues. It's so annoying watching a tutorial where they "just use plasti dip" and everything's perfect
I've watched so many videos trying to get into a beginner's level of painting EVA foam and nothing made it as simple as this. I don't want to spend on more expensive materials until i find out if I want to keep doing this, so it was down to Plasti-dip or mod podge. So many tutorials said avoid mod podge, but I've never been successful with my few crappy attempts at plasti-dip. Thank you SO much for explaining the pros and cons of each! Instantly subscribed.
Thank you! Your tutorial was super helpful. What happens if you over-prime with Mod-Podge? The EVA foam armor I’m making recommends three coats. Is that too much?
Thank you for the informational video! I think I'll go the mod podge route as I don't really have a safe place to use plati-dip. One suggestion for your video is to use better lighting. The image is kind of drab! Thanks for the upload!
quick question: I'm making a piece of armor with a lot of tiny details, so I made light cuts in the foam and then use a heat gun so they become more visible. can I use plasti dip on that? or will it fill up the details? I've never made a piece with this much detail before, so I'm open for any advice 🙂
It should be all good, just make sure you're not putting thick coats on. I actually prefer plastip with small details as it doesnt run and pool as quickly as mod podge or flexbond.
I'm looking to make a witch's hat. It was stated Mod Podge can let the prop crease. Would the creases matter as much for a hat? It seems to me the effect might actually make it look more "lived in".
You *can* but the paint will start to warp if you do because the paint heats up too. It'll start to bubble or crack on you. So I'd definitely recommend heat shaping before you paint it.

Beginner here. GREAT tutorial and I was cracking up at the humor. Really appreciated you stressing the importance of safety

Guess I’ll be returning my white plastidip tmrw lol 😂 thank you for this
Oh, I'm just starting out and I'm old. But the doge pug is the the way too go. Cheers.
is it possible to do a few coats of mod podge first to get the shine and then spray with plastidip for the durability?
Chanced upon this video and found it really helpful! Would just like to ask, do you recommend any specific filter types for the gas mask?

Thanks for the advice! Also, with any aerosol paint/primer, you should spray at a 45-degree angle. Which is what you did in the video so you're good!
7:26 what i'm hearing is "remove respirator to summon me"

Very helpful!

thanks!
Would you recommend mod podge to prime plaster? Or something else?
would a wet sanding sponge instead of sandpaper work for mod podge?
So mod podge is just a thin shield of glue acting like plastic for us to paint on right?
"It goes on white so you can see what you're covering" Meanwhile I'm using white foam
Real
9:05 yeah see thats the problem I'm having right now. I'm getting an even layer but it looks like i ripped the flesh off a trolls back.
After priming with mod podge, how long should i wait before painting?
Probably once it dries
@@shaykireas yes but it takes time to dry AND cure, so what I was asking was how long until thats all done. It's about 4 weeks for a full cure btw.
@@justaduckquack123 Four weeks is insane. I don't even remember there's a comicon coming up until about 2 weeks before
10:03 which ones which?
I love your humor lol
What if I don't heat treat? Is it really necessary if I already have the shape I want?
If you do not heat treat the foam, the foam will absorb the primer, making it look rough and porous
Can you Prime duct tape and do this same process?
Can you use heat after sealing your eva foam?
Like heat gun?

@@arkadykoshka7660 what if I already have the shape I want? Can I just use the mod Podge with heat treating?
There’s no way it took you a day to make that lol
