Thank you for the nice clear explanation. I’ve been searching for what is the best glue for something that’s laminated and then you’re going to carve it.
Steven Harris They definitely are, depending! I prefer the speed of rough cuts to form with the handsaw to the hot wire cutter, but getting an even, planed edge, a wire cutter rigged up a bit like a scrollsaw is super effective.
*psst* the patreon link isn't working, might wanna double check that. great video btw, maybe I'll try working with XPS foam again. it didn't like me very much the last time I tried lol
Great video! Really like the fact that you show the actual work in real time! Would it be wise to make armor out of this foam? I'm assuming this doesnt heat up as well as eva foam ^^;
ChetChat It *definitely* doesn't take heat well (melts nearly immediately), and works a bit better for props than armor due to its rigid nature. That being said, if you have a a rigid piece *on* your armor, like a spike, XPS can work fantastically there!
That piece looks so nice and smooth! You deserve way more subs.

what grit sand paper are you using?
what do you hardcoat these with?
Can you make foam rigid as plastic or similar?
I'm new to cosplay, glad that I found you.

what grit are you using?
Sorry if dumb question. Is xps and extruded foam different? What was it being used here? Cheers
Never mind watched it dupe times and figured it out
Seems like a hot wire foam cutter and a sure-form rasp would be really helpful here…
