I love it when big name cosplayers like mangosirene, punished props, evil ted, and kamui reference each other in their videos. It makes the community more inclusive like a family.

@KamuiCosplay 6 лет назад

@Raeinok Год назад

I learned quickly with plasti-dip, multiple light coats is better than fewer heavy coats. Its hard to get an even coating and it can pool up so def hang it to dry and don't lay it flat.

@hope4ourfallen Год назад

@@Raeinok would you mind explaining what type of paints you use on the flex seal spray stuff... I don't know much about paint types, and am trying to figure out how people get stuff to stay on rubber? Like when ya see a mask in a Halloween store that paint is ON THERE super strong..But when I paint rubber stuff, it comes off🤷‍♂️ Especially if it is a flexible surface..I have seen some people mix liquid latex with acrylic. But I don't want to screw up my airbrush before I learn to use it😄

I feel so reassured hearing Kamui Cosplay say that you can just straight-up paint foam directly in a pinch AND that they realistically let you know how that affects paint application. That was such a great inclusion, they really understand that cosplayer life. Y’all the real mvp, great work as always 👍

Wow, great comparison, thanks for taking the time to compare these all in depth, I absolutely love your work! I've been designing costumes from EVA foam full time for the last 5 years, and have tried a few of these but I have landed at just using artists acrylic paints as my primer and paint. Three coats are all I need and the foam is primed and painted. Of course, my projects are mostly made to have an antique metal look (lots of steampunk:) , so brush strokes are welcome because of the added texture. I'm also pretty cheap and a $5 tube of acrylics goes a long way. I have never tried PlastiDip, but after watching this I think I will give it a try and use it when I need nice smooth surfaces. Thanks again, have a super amazing day! .

@TehAuroraWolf 4 года назад

how do you apply it though? is it the same with the others and just use a brush? or is dipping the better option to coat the whole thing quickly?

@@TehAuroraWolf You can apply the paint can PlastiDip using the same usual suspects : brush, dip and spraygun. You'll find many videos on the Internet showing you how people spray their car with it using an airgun. For such massive projects, the can version is much more affordable.

@CazM 6 лет назад

Another tip is to use Rub n' Buff to give your pieces a metal paint treatment (it comes in many metallic colors), it's a wax based pigment. If your paint job creases just hit it with a heat gun and the RnB wax melts a bit and boom! No more creases or wrinkles in your paint. Couple that with Plastidip as your primer and you'll never have to worry about creases in your paint job again!

@mleen5010 5 лет назад

Super useful video, thank you ! Just a word on latex, you can actually taint it with acrylic paint (not more than like 10-20% of paint in your latex) instead of painting on it, it works very well if you're looking for a more organic result (but not so great for shiny armor pieces, it tends to get yellowy over time) And an other method we use at my job in France is Slastic paint, it's an elastic kind of acrylic, you just prime your piece with diluted neoprene glue and paint it with Slastic and the result is super sturdy :)

@KamuiCosplay 5 лет назад

Thanks for the tip!

@Sgt_Potato_1 Год назад

Tip for those who would like to apply mod podge and have an air brush: You can use water to water down mod podge enough to run it through an air brush so you don't get brush strokes in your finish. I've used this before in a few different mediums but have yet to use it on foam. I assume it'll work just fine though. Worked on hardened leather.

@innovativecosplay 7 лет назад

This video was AWESOME😍 Thank you for another great and helpful video! I've been wanting to get better results with my EVA foam builds and this has been fantastic seeing different priming results. I have been mod podging to seal my kwik seal (learned from Evil Ted😁), then plasti-dipping on top, but my pieces would get stiff causing the paint to look cracked when put under stress afterwards. Next time I will try skipping the mod podge and go straight to my plasti-dip for better flexability👍🏻👍🏻 I LOVE your videos and have bought some of your books and hope to be able to buy more in the future!!

@KamuiCosplay 7 лет назад

Glas you like it! There's many different combination to use. You just need to find one that works for you personally! :)

@CorinneStephens 2 года назад

Here's a cheap method I've figured out recently! Bear in mind I haven't had the chance to take this to any cons yet, but it seems pretty good for an affordable option!! The main base here is Outdoor Mod Podge, rather than the regular matte or glossy. It comes in a green container and says "outdoor" under the brand. You can just use this directly, but what I've been doing is globbing a bit of that into a container, then adding a bit of acrylic paint (i don't use much) and water. The video says you don't need to water down mod podge, but in my experience it helps a lot with the brush strokes! Just make sure to do extra layers to make up for it. The acrylic paint isn't strictly necessary I think, but for me it makes it much easier to know how well it's mixed as well as how evenly it's spread. I use cheapie paints so I'm not sure how more expensive stuff might react! I give the foam a pretty good heat seal first, then start applying the mixture. You can use the heat gun to speed up the drying if you work fast and are careful! If you don't move the heat gun enough it will cause air bubbles, but if you work quickly it doesn't. I've been adding a few layers of the mixture, but you really only need one, I think. It will dry a bit tacky. Once it's dry you can paint over it! It doesn't crack like regular mod podge, but it does crease. When I tried to scratch off paint, it didn't scratch overly easily, but when it did, it went all the way to the foam, so be a bit careful. You can seal with regular mod podge (I haven't tried with the outdoor since it is a bit tacky) and it will be even harder to get the paint off, although it will add shine.

I'm starting with the shield. I've noticed that in some of your videos you use the flex bond as well as the plasti dip. is there a reason that you use both on some projects and not on others? And you have tried the plasti dip metallic paints or the various colors available? painting is definitely lowest on my list of skills needed for working with EVA foam and having a convenient metallic spray option would make life a bit easier for me.

I know you didn't try it here, but I can also really recommend using acrylic texture gel mixed with wood glue (Cyehra's priming technique) for the first layer and afterwards only one layer of PlastiDip if you like it extra smooth. The result will be just as good but you won't need tons of PlastiDip since it's really expensive (at least in Germany ^^).

@Madeleinewith3Es 3 года назад

Yup, white glue cracks like anything, especially over time and on thinner materials. I have a mask I made back in 2015 that's covered in tiny cracks that only my many layers of acrylic paint are hiding. Mod Podge does crease, but for my Ravager corset (the one in my pic), I sealed smaller craft foam sheets with it before cutting the scales and I've worn this thing for a bunch of cons and a self defense workshop and it still looks pretty great, so I'd say it's good for small, bendable pieces that won't show too much creasing but you want them to move. Otherwise, I'm sticking to PlastiDip for larger pieces

Yes, acrylic varnish works wonders to protect your paint even further. It also makes it waterproof. Don't really have any experiences with floor wax though.

Hi! I don't do cosplay, but I do doll miniatures, and I found this tutorial quite interesting. For miniatures I think that both mod podge and glue would be enough. Great video, you are very talented

I tried Plasti-Dip on a big eva foam sword and was dismayed by the texture it left on the foam! I had to quickly smooth it all down with a foam brush and do the same with each coat ... very disappointing even though I've seen many cosplayers sing the praises of Plasti-Dip ... you're tip about warming the can in a bath of hot water is a good idea, I'll have to try that before I relegate Plasti-Dip to the dustbin!! ... Great video!

Yeah it's a little tricky to apply so you should test it before applying it to your props. Warming up helps and you really have to heat seal your foam properly in advance.
