🙂Bonus tip🙂 A playing card, or cut piece of plastic from a milk jug/soda bottle...Make a GREAT tool for blending the filled edges without finger streaks... Wrap 1 layer of paper towel around it and it makes a flexible sanding block/spatula that will spread the filler in the groove while forming to the areas on either side Without leaving any finger streaks..And since it is flexible (but not too flexible) you can get great blending areas, and it won't dip into the seam you are filling the way our fingers can sometimes.. Depending on how big of a piece ya cut can allow for super small or pretty wide blends, and gives a great leveling effect because it spreads the pressure over a smooth area like a flexible spatula (but with A LOT more control than a spatula would)🙂 Hope that made sense😄
I've been using foam clay to for seams, and I could never figure out how to get it smooth before sanding, but I now I know extra water and folding is the secret, thank you!
You can definitely use hot glue instead of contact cement, as long as you glue small sections at a time and you hold them until they cool. I would not recommend using a hair dryer, most hair dryers can't get hot enough to form the foam. If you can't find a heat gun, try amazon, they have a good selection. You can buy the cheapest one and it should do just fine.
Nope, normally it's better to fill the seams first and then prime. So once the primer is on, you can see if you did a good job at filling the seams, and you can fill them once more if they're not perfect yet. :)
