Re: [FOAM] [GUIDE] List of Options for Supplies, Tools, and Methods Used for Foam Bui
First, I would like to say that I've decided that this thread will be the first of many in a series of Resource Threads / Guilds for Supplies for our costumes.
The 2nd one is: http://www.405th.com/showthread.php?t=44624 which deals with miscellaneous Undersuit components that most of us usually end up buying rather than making.
I plan on making ones for Buckles & Strapping as well as for Lighting/LEDs eventually.
Also, while I'm sure some of this stuff can be ordered using the links from non-U.S. countries, I think it would be great if someone was interested in starting duplicate threads for products in other countries.
Either way, this thread is still here to serve at least to give ideas to the products that are out there, while you might not be able to buy it from the same store in Europe, at least you know the name of the product.
In other news: Found a few new things to eventually be added to the OP:
Dremel Carving/Engraving Mini Accessory Kit
Walmart: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Dremel-Carving-Engraving-Mini-Accessory-Kit-689-03/28508911
Price: $15.97
Rotary Tool Kit 80 Pc
Harbor Freight Tools: http://www.harborfreight.com/80-piece-rotary-tool-kit-97626.html
Price $9.99
Both of the two above seem to come with the same small carving/engraving pieces for Dremels/Rotary Tools, since I already had a Dremel and didn't need a 2nd Rotary Tool, I went ahead and spent the extra $5 to try out the Kit from Walmart. I already had a few of the bits with the general Dremel Tool set I already had, but it is nice to have a few new pieces and I've definitely been using them. The engraving bits aren't the best though, they aren't giving me the best results with the pieces I'm testing them with, the carving tools I'm using to sand the foam with are working great though and the small bits I didn't previously have are a definite help!
