People like barge contact cement, I’ve only use lepage brand. most heavy duty contact cements will do fine.what kind and any sealing tips with colors to use a the base color
I definitely prefer Barge cement over regular, it just seemed to work better for me. Maybe the climate. For sealing Electraknife got it all covered. You can use any colour plastidip if need be, you're painting over it again anyways. I have a shelf full of every colour so using what's on hand works great! You can also use straight acrylic monomer to seal. It will have a number of names depending upon the manufacturer, for example at my work we sell it as acrylic clear plus.what kind and any sealing tips with colors to use a the base color
what do acrylic paint work for that final paint jobPeople like barge contact cement, I’ve only use lepage brand. most heavy duty contact cements will do fine.
Utility knives for big cuts, exacto knives for small precise ones. Rotary tools are also really handy if you can get one for cleaning up jagged cuts. youll either need to stock up on blades or use a sharpener to prolong the life of one. 400g Sandpaper will work to sharpen blades as well.
i Use plasti dip to seal my foam, it stays fairly flexible that way. You can use mod podge or latex as well. depends on preferences and what finish you want.
black is My fav base color, grey works too.

Us Canadians also get kind of "meh" tier contact cement in comparison. LePage you kind of need to use two coats which take half an hour to tack up before they're at the same level as Barge.I definitely prefer Barge cement over regular, it just seemed to work better for me.
That's what I did with mine! They work great! Just a pair of interceptor brand combat boots..also walmart boots for the odst boots cheep and black
Um, hi, Electraknite? I'd like to introduce you to my enemy, Mr. Con Crunch.once you use it you wont go back to hot glue
would elmer's cement work or do you think i should use something elseya you can paint over all the sealer coats with acrylic paint. spray paint has better coverage though so its nice to do a base coat of whatever color most of the armor is, then layer on extra color with a brush or airbrush.
ya walmart should have contact cement. home depot always has it too.
Im also using walmart boots as a base for my build
ODST Emory contact cement is glue you spread on each side of your foam pieces and once it dries a bit you can stick both together. its just a lot cleaner, stronger and more forgiving than hot glue for any join you want to be invisible. hot glue is good for strengthening the interior of a seam. once you use it you wont go back to hot glue. its the best. theres a ton of foam smithing tutorials on youtube. check out punished props or evil ted smith.
You can certainly use acrylic paints for your paint job, whether brushed on or thinned and sprayed with an airbrush. Biggest downside to brushing on is just that it tends to leave brush strokes vs. airbrush or spray paint. Due to crunch time, my Pidge armor a few years ago was all hand painted w/ acrylics, and it worked out perfectly for the situation. For more control over the color, there's also the option of buying a paint sample of whatever color you want from a hardware store applied the same, brush or airbrush(thinned), as for acrylics.what do acrylic paint work for that final paint job
i have a low funding for the armor and no airbrush kit and acrylic paint is cheep and know of any brands i should use and NEVER EVER use for paintingYou definitely want to get a contact cement (Barge, Dap Weldwood, etc.). Use a respirator with that stuff though; it can be pretty nasty.

Barge is the best contact cement you can easily buy most places. DAP or LePage are okay second choices for brands.ok then can someone please give me a name of a contact cement that i can look for
It's generally not an issue with brands being bad but mixing of paint types chemically not working well together. Pick something, follow the application instructions for recoating times and everything usually works out fine.i have a low funding for the armor and no airbrush kit and acrylic paint is cheep and know of any brands i should use and NEVER EVER use for painting
