[QUOTE="Zachary, post: 782753, member: 27514"] really good explanation dont worry about that, i wanted to say a few things, you said it was flexible, but how flexible is it? When you bend the foam does it make a harss fold or small creases? Do they go away by themselves after or do they need help of a heat gun to get back to their original form? ok i think it goes over most of my questions for now, really good idea im excited to see how it turns out! also for painting afterwards, try and stay away as much as possible from spray paint with foam, as it tend to crack over time, at first it will seem flexible, but after a few month, most paints (im my experience) really harden and loose any flex in them, wich can cause some really bad problems down the line. for my most recent suits of armor i used wall latex paint, wich stays flexible practicly forever! i had no probleme with it sticking to the foam, so a mixe of your sealer and this flexible paint could be a really good option! it only wore out where the it the most wear and tear, but any type of paints what so ever will do this. cant wait to hear from you again, this seems really interesting!
