Just saw this video. I was wondering if you can coat a rock made from crumpled newspaper? It’s a lot cheaper than the foam you used, but maybe the paper would absorb moisture too quickly?

Looks fun!

I love the smell of Smooth-On in the morning :)

My first thought was to use this to rotocast a rubber mask instead of using latex, the rock texture would be a cool effect for that too.

Is roto casting where you spin a mold and the material coats all of the inside?

Can this be used on EVA foam? Like for cosplay armor making? If you want something you want to be able to do rolls and stunts with? OR would you suggest another one of your products for like "stunt" armor?

I'm building one of these for a "sword in the stone." Any thoughts on cutting the "sleeve" for the sword? We're making a little frame to put inside. Can we cut the slot through the coated foam?

Hello, have you tried using the UreCoat matte powder? UreCoat on its own will be glossy when curing against the air. In this video the Quarry Tone that is being added to the piece makes the UreCoat have a matte finish. www.smooth-on.com/products/urecoat-matting-powder/

This is perfect for a play! You can make minature of these so you can throw them! I was the 300th like by the way.

Your directions say to let cure at room temp of 73 degrees...I live in Texas and do all my props in a 1400 sq. ft. metal building shop that is very rarely 73 degrees. I was just wondering what would happen if applied in 80 to 90 degree heat? (inside of my shop of course) Thanks!

Ohh you saved my life it’s something I want to do only .

Hi Smooth-On Team. I have a question and I'm sure you got the right answer. My latest project is a puppethead made out of a huge foamcube. I did cut the final shape with different kind of scissors and now it has a smooth and round surface as I wanted. But of course the pored surface is still recognizable. Plan A: Now I could glue strechable fabric on the foamhead but I am afraid not without any wrinkles. Furthermore fabric would look too fluffy for my taste. Plan B: Is there a way to create a non shiny felxible skin on the final foam head to close the foam structure and get a smooth surface? I would like to spraypaint acrylic or latex paint on this skin. I do really appreciate your feedback. Thank you very much! Best regards, Roy

You have to use tints and dyes to color it while it is a liquid. Once it dries, there's really nothing that will stick to it. Primers and paints will just flake off its surface once it's cured.
