Previously we talked about how to hide your seams completely but unfortunately there are some cosplay props and armor where it is just impossible to do that on so in this cosplay quick tip clip we'll talk about what to do to patch/fill gaps and seams when you can't hide them so that the disappear.
Let me know what Cosplay Questions you might have and I will answer them in a video on this channel!

FILLER Your quick tip clip videos are great

Thank you!

What’s the density rating of the WTF and how does it vary from the other professional foams?

@luonglongqua7454 Месяц назад

Very useful, thanks

Question: can you use wood filler for foam?

@putridmika 2 года назад

can i use these if i already sprayed my foam with plastidip? i realized there’s some cracks i didn’t expect to show that are more visible than i’d like.

@oscarresendiz837 2 года назад

I just realized that I used Non-paintable Kwik seal. Can it be painted on after the plasti dip has been added or is the project trashed?

@wiz8914 4 года назад

When filling with Foam-Mo like in your example here, about how long does it take to set before a light sanding and being able to move forward with sealing and such?

@CosplayApprentice 4 года назад

Depending on how thin it is, it could be ready after a couple hours, but I would give it at least over night to play it safe. :)

@jojowei8816 Год назад

Is the kwik seal surface similar to the foam's after priming? Because I sanded my dried kwikseal then I primed it all and the kwik seal surface was very very shiny compared to the matte surface of the primed foam. It really fucked up my prop.... So how is it after not sanding it?

There's been a weird lag in your last couple of videos. My greatest challenge is going from idea to reality. I have the whole concept in my head, I just can't figure out how to make it happen. Like adding segmentata to your Hiccup chestpiece to make a fully-covering breastplate. (But not a full cuirass, as I'll be wearing this in summer at a ren fair - comfort and mobility are of utmost concern.)

@CosplayApprentice 4 года назад

Lag, like the audio is off or, like a video glitching lag?

@RedVelvet_EdgeMuffin 2 года назад

Literally grasping the basics of this is difficult. I’ve made foam stuff I’m just WAY behind working with this stuff. And it’s VERY costly. I’ve dropped $100^ and I’ve not even made a full bucket helmet. (Now of course the supplies I bought will last a while, buuut)

I didnt put water on the quick seal so you understand what happened, how it looked like ahahaha. i will just make the cowl from start but that was a lesson.

@art3misarrow863 3 года назад

Keeping my knife sharp with stuff I have at home, keeping it free of pet hair and dust, how to clean before sealing... the type of stuff most tutorialisys don't really think to include, maybe because the answer seems obvious idk

@CosplayApprentice 3 года назад

All excellent questions! :) I will look at making some videos talking about this :)

@jacduggs8205 3 года назад

is foam-mo flexible or rigid?

@CosplayApprentice 3 года назад

It remains relatively flexible after it cures. Then we recommend you seal it with something to keep the air from getting to it. Because it is an air dry clay, over time, the more it exposed to air it will continue to dry out more. So if it exposed to air without any sealant it can eventually become more rigid and break easier of flexed. Hope that helps :)

@mslindqu 2 года назад

not enough detailed information.. too much fluff trying to be a youtube channel, but appreciate the effort.

@CosplayApprentice 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment :) you should check out some of my newer videos, I have improved the way I've done the videos and planned them out more so that they get to the essence better. :)
