Very useful foam gluing trick

[vargatom]

I've found this thread on the replica prop forum some time ago:

http://www.thereplicapropforum.com/f24/tip-making-seemless-seems-eva-foam-143294/

Today I've tried it and I'm very pleased with the results
The basic idea is to use tape to attach the two foam pieces together before you add the glue. It works with rounded seams too, and helps you keep glue from pouring out to the outside. Highly recommended method!

Wow, Thanks for finding that post and informing us here, I was amazed when I saw that seam. I know it's not your tutorial, but great contribution!

I'll definitely be taking advantage of this technique when I finish my helmet and start on my armor! Thanks!

Just came up with another trick, this time on my own.

If you burn your finger with hot glue, pick a can of beer from the fridge and touch it. Drink the beer, too.
cool:cool

(of course this one's only for those who are of age)

Wow! Thanks for sharing! I'm going to start doing this with my ME3 build. Wish I would have Known sooner lol.

And at vargatom... Like the suggestion

That's a fairly brilliant technique, good find! However the beer technique should be regarded as better
