A small series of me making foam Reach forearms and giving them a paint job. I forgot to include certain info/steps along the way, so if there are any questions, ask away.

8 part series

I used Clear Seal, it comes in a tube and is made by Liquid Nails. I must have cut that part out by accident. I applied it with a bondo spreader. You can get it at Wal Mart for about 3$

I just checked, I did cut out the sealing process. I plan on making foam cutting, sealing and gluing videos when I get to the shins, so it should be covered soon.

Of course, as long as its sealed it will look better after painting.

it makes sense lol , but i have a question , well , i have a problem :

I am not really sure what PEP files to use , i mean i could use the Small detailed parts , also from the pep file ,
well actually , im just not entirely sure where to cut the foam ,

i got some foam , should be enough for some handplates , so we ( the 4 builders and me ) can build together ,
but . . .
im so scared i will screw up , what to do ?

Eventually you just have to dive in and youll figure it out. It seems tougher than it is. I waited forever to try it, then when I did I felt stupid for putting it off. I sent you a pm with some info that will hopefully help you.
