I got some questions.
1: Why would I need a sealer on a foam build? The foam mats on Harbor Freight are advertised as waterproof. Wouldn't something that is waterproof not need sealing?
2. How in the world do you use the bathroom?

i just using PVA glue for sealing mine . can i use bondo to cover the bigger gaps instead of plastidip ? that thing isnt really easy to come by in my country and a small one cost a bomb.
thing is you talk about using layers but eva foam tends to be fairly think down to about 6mm so you could just get one the thickness you want cut all the edges to the current angle and then using the craft mount Tom mentioned glue down the foamie on top using normal hot glue to attach the whole piece to the flak vest underneath.
I say you this because that armour isn't that thick so an 8 -10mm foam would do, then as I said just cut the edges with an outward angle. you could also mount this onto a foamie so you have the raised up bit on the flat base you see above which is attached then to the jacket if that makes sense if not i'm happy to draw a diagram and post it.
as for the badge detail you'll probably need to look at getting your self some plastic and then dremel that detail into it.
again if you need anymore help or a diagram just shout

Hmmm, what if I used a thinner craft foam in the center to replace the EVA? Coils that work and have me stick to my original plan?
I need to be sure i'm clear on your intentions here, you want a:
Flak vest then eva then foamie then eva with a foamie over that for the detail?
If i'm correct then what i'm suggesting is just use one piece of eva shaped how you want it then cover with foamie, I don't see the need for "sandwiching". Please correct me if i'm wrong on your intentions so i can help work out a solution.
You are most correct sir. He reason I didn't want to carve my detail out then cover with foamie is because... I thought my way would be a simpler (easier) route... Haha
