- Dissolved Styrofoam or Plastic Coating of Products | Disolve Styrofoam for plastic coating of your proyects
Hello.
Previously, almost every homemade product I had to cover with several coats of varnish. This is especially necessary for products that are installed outdoors. But varnishes do not always perform their protective functions. For example, sometimes there are varnishes that do not dry completely and can still stick for a very long time. Sometimes it happens that the individual parts of the product are glued together, and then come off from each other with paint. It also happens that the product is glued to the surface on which it stands.
To avoid the problems described above, I cover my products with dissolved styrofoam. Thanks to the thin layer of plastic that remains after applying the solution, my products get excellent protection from rain, wind and other vagaries of nature.
In this video you will see how to dissolve the styrofoam for use as a protective layer for products.
Dissolved styrofoam is very firmly adhered to the surface of the product and is the best substitute for varnish.
Thank you all for watching and for your comments.

Lol, did this 45 years ago, the concrete on the garage floor used to powder and my Dad and i mixed up a whole lot of Styrofoam and lacquer thinners, ended up with about 2 gallons of the mix, still on the floor today and still holding up.
That's pretty cool. So it ages and keeps well, at least indoors away from UV? Decent spill resistance I imagine?
I'm kind of playing with the idea of coating the garage walls (and tablers, shelves ect.) with a layer of this over very cheap paint - with the idea being that I could just hose the whole area down if needed.
Thinner can be gotten in bulk pretty cheap, and styroffoam is basically sourced for free if you know where to look. Good water-repelling outdoor paint or polyurethane on the other hand is pretty expensive where I live, literally on the order of 10x the price of cheap indoor wall paint.
I will definitely do some smaller scale tests on this and see how well it resists some common "garage spills".
The thing I really love about DIY solutions like this is you can just make a dollar's worth more if you need small repairs or expansions, and understanding what the product is really made of is important.
@@TheStigma if you spill gas or thiner on it it will soften again, easy to repair and will reharden when the solvent evaporates.
@@lotuselanplus2s Thanks. I don't suppose you know how it compares to polyurethane?
@@TheStigma I'd love to know that too.
Καλημέρα Επειδή δεν ξέρω αγγλικά καλά τι διαλυτικό είναι αυτό και που μπορώ να το προμηθευτώ είναι διαλυτικό νίτρου διαλυτικό πολυουρεθάνης White Spirit κι αν είναι καλό το υλικό για πάτωμα....
This is brilliant and not only that, watching that styrofoam dissolve is very satisfying!
Ongosh, this is amazing! Idk how I missed this, but thank you! I have been wanting to make crafts for outside (like a basket for dog toys), but I didn't know how to deal with the weather....
I now know how I'm going to recycle/upcycle my styrofoam! Thank you!
Acetone is the solvent to use. When it evaporates it leaves no residue.
I have used it and styrofoam for years. If you try to use the resulting gloop in a mould, then when it dries you will see huge amounts of small air bubbles still trapped inside - this is the milky look when it's a dense globby mess. In the video the mixture is quite runny. You can make it as solid as you like - just use less acetone. You need a vacuum pump if you want to degass it and use it as a solid moulding material.
One last thing - I have found it breaks down in direct sunlight and becomes quite brittle, but as a thin coat, as used here, its probably ok.
Water free only.. but toluene seems to work better for me
I tried using lacquer thinner at first. It just melted the styrofoam into a ball of putty-like stuff and wouldn’t disperse into the thinner. I think you could use it in a mold, not sure. I’m going to try it today. It’s still white, so I suspect it’s got a lot of air in it still, but I think it will work.
If experimenting with acetone, please use outdoors ONLY. Not only is it bad for your health, the vapor is literally explosive in some concentrations.
Can I use the mixture for smoothening the lightly rough surfaces of car's side claddings?
Is this thinner epoxy thinner
Gratidão 😍ganhou mais uma inscrita, amei suas dicas e trabalhos 😍
Be certain that any plastics u brush this on (as well as the paints applied) are NOT solvent based. Lest your project be “melted” or otherwise ruined
Why would anyone put this on something made of plastic in the first place? Plastics are already waterproof which is the purpose of applying the styrofoam (plastic) coating.
\ (0.o) /
.
@@ATinyPillow because people dont know any better ? Because they like the look? Because they might perceive it as adding a layer of protection to their paint job? Lotsa reasons people might choose to do so.. OTHER than waterproofing
@@stephenm103 : Stephen, watch the video again. The whole point of applying the styrofoam/plastic coating was to waterproof the item, he even showed pieces that were coated withstanding being totally immersed in water.
.
@@ATinyPillow sure. In this case thats this artists purpose. But people apply clear sealers to their work for lotsa reasons OTHER than just waterproofing. Right? They want a consistent uniform sheen to the work - for example.. or - they want to protect an otherwise fragile finish. Waterproofing is one pf many. THE POINT IS - dont apply this coating to anything that is susceptible to solvents.
@@stephenm103 Hi! I came here from another video where the maker created a thickened paste which was used as a glue. He then made a patch out of it and put it on a hole he made on a plastic jug. After letting it cure, he showed how it was a permanent fix to the plastic container. Personally I wouldn't drink that water, but as a fix on a jug for handwashing water, a laundry liquid detergent jug, etc. I think it was an excellent idea. Got me thinking of going around town and collecting styrofoam just t make up this glue/bonding stuff and keep the styrofoam out of the landfill...
Gracias 😊, me encanta tu trabajo y lo que haces por los demás no había encontrado algo así, con las masas que me han encantado y ahora éste para protegerlas más, Dios te bendiga🙏🙏😀😘
Hola. Muchas gracias por las amables palabras. Espero que este video te sea de utilidad.
This just what i needed. Thank you.
Great idea... Thanks for the health warnings... Thanks for sharing...
Muito bom.
Desconhecia essa fórmula.
Muitas compras online vem com isopor que sempre é descartado.
Agora podemos reciclar com vantagens.
Olá. Obrigado por seu comentário.
Excellent thank you! What else can be covered with this composition?
Супер! Молодцы! Спасибо!
Fantastic!! What a great idea!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤️
Hello. Thank you for your comment and kind words. I'm glad you liked this idea of covering homemade products.
Amei a dica!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Amei esta dica!!! Brasil MG!!!
Incroyable !! J'ai regardé plusieurs de vos vidéos et je suis époustouflé par vos créations !!!
Merci pour vos recettes et votre technique cela me servira énormément pour mes futurs projets de création !
Coucou de la France ^^
Bonjour. Merci pour le gentil commentaire. Je suis content que mon travail te plaise. Bonne chance dans vos projets.
Se puede utilizar como pegamento o es solo como aislante
I think you can add a bit of brake fluid to act as a plastizer so it is less brittle
You are the best!!! Thank you! Ever
Большое спасибо за идею 👍
What a great idea.Thank you.💝💝💝
Thank you for the idea. I believe that gasoline or acetone could be used as solvent too.
Hello. Yes, you can use different solvents.
This is amazing. Thanks!!!
Magnifico...👏👏👏
Спасибо за идею.
Amei !!!

Супер! Огромное спасибо!
Ah watching the styrofoam dissolve is so satisfying this is genius can't wait to try it thanks
SENSACIONAL muito obrigado, uso verniz marítimo em tudo (mas vou substituir pelo isopor que Vc ensinou), pq as pessoas se esquecem que mesmo os mais bonitos artesanatos, sujam com o tempo e a poeira... agora vou ajudar a natureza não precisando mais sujar com o descarte do isopor, pq todos desprezam esse material aqui na minha cidade... inscrita, Like e compartilhando. Obrigado.
Olá. Obrigado pelo ótimo comentário. Fico feliz que você tenha gostado do revestimento plástico de seus produtos. O principal é seguir as regras de segurança ao trabalhar com solvente - cuide da sua saúde. Proteja não apenas suas mãos e olhos, mas também seus pulmões. Trabalhe ao ar livre ou em uma sala bem ventilada. E melhor ainda comprar uma máscara que proteja seus pulmões.
Não sabia... muito ótimo a sua idéia...vou fazer tbm... obrigado... abraço
Olá. Obrigado pelo comentário positivo. Fico feliz que você tenha gostado da ideia de cobrir os produtos com espuma de poliestireno dissolvido.
Awesome. Thank you.
Bu harika bilgi için teşekkürler.👌🙏
Obrigado pó passar seus conhecimentos deus abençoe vc sempre 🙏🙏🙏
Спасибо! Отличная идея, главное - просто.
Марина Вы поняли, что за жидкость (сольвент) используется? Спасибо
Muito obrigada pela dica. Irei usá-la nas minhas peças de papel mache.
Hola este disolvente se pude hacer con thinner
e isopor solo estos dos productos ? Gracias
Good way to make use of scrap styrofoam
Who would’ve thought all those pieces of styrofoam would fit in that little jar.
Boa dica, thanks!
Great idea 💡
Excelente!!!
Muito legal parabéns 👏👍🌹🌷🇧🇷
Very good. Thank you very much.
SOS increíble!!!!!
Моя мама разстворяла пенопласт в ацетоне 40 лет назад🤗
Мы в Армии каблуки,подошвы сапог так приклеивали.вторая половина семидесятых.
@@user-xt4ry4ob3q я о том же, клеили обувь.
Я пробовала в сольвент растворить почему то остаётся комок на дне пенопласт у меня из совсем мелких шариков плотный может пенопласт разный бывает?
@@user-fy8ed1xs5f it is the thinner. Are you using Lacquer thinner? Lacquer thinner makes a lump of soft plastic at the bottom of the jar.
Thanks alot for this informative video
Very interesting thank you for sharing with us
Спасибо!
Usaste tinner verdad?
Voy a probar en mis artesanías ❤️🙏
Excelente gracias por el tip"
WOW very interesthing.. I looking long time.. For this
Thank you soo much 🌹🐾
Meu irmão artesão usou essa mistura para colar tudo ! Por isso mais dissolvido vira tipo verniz mais espesso vira cola o que quiser ! .
Mas o líquido é solvente?
Olá. Eu não falo português, então não entendi muito bem sua pergunta. Você pode parafrasear sua pergunta?
@@CheerfulCraft está a perguntar qual é o liquido onde mergulham o isopor, é diluente.... éter......ou o que é?
@@dacirabrandao é acetona pura,não pode ter lanoina ou vaselina .....só acetona pura
Olá. Eu recomendo assistir a vídeos com legendas habilitadas. Existem legendas em português.
A substância na qual eu dissolvo a espuma de poliestireno é o Solvente n. Além disso, este solvente pode ser encontrado sob os nomes "solvente-nafta", "Solventnafta n" ...
Would this work well to encapsulate cardboard surface and edges to waterproof projects or be too heavy/thick?
I suggest PVC glue watered down as a safer alternative.
Would your suggestion of glue make the final product waterproof. Cheers
شكرا للفيديو الرائع مع الترجمه😍😍😍

Any idea on the fire resistance/lack-there-of this solvent/Styrofoam solution?
Many thanks to Joe Farrelly, and many Thanks to Cheerful Craft for showing us how to do it. What a splendid video! :)
Hello. Thank you very much for the nice comment. I will be glad if the information from this video will be useful to you! Good luck.
@@CheerfulCraft It most certainly will be useful to me, and many other subbers I don't doubt; we have all benefited from your many tips and tricks with arts and craft, and you give it with an abundance of charm and personality, it's a pleasure to watch your videos. I can't thank you enough for all the tips I've picked up from you. :)
WOW! tyfs!
When I lived in Ghana in the late 90's they were coating their furniture with styrofoam dissolved in gasoline.
I worked in Africa 20 odd years ago at the mouth of the Congo river. The locals mixed styrofoam with petrol to fill any cracks or splits in their wooden boats. I have wondered if it would be a substitute for glass fibre epoxy ?
I lived in Mali 9 years and the styrofoam/petrol combo was well known there as well.
What were you doing there in Africa ? And where you are now ? Curious, as you must have had many varied experiences. Please elaborate a bit.
- from Kolkata(formerly Calcutta), India
@@sauravbasu8805 I was working for Exxon at the mouth of the Congo River on a project to build a supply base for offshore rigs. After being in Singapore, Qatar, Kazakhstan and China I am now in Senegal on a LNG project offshore. So my experiences are more than varied ?
@@alanduncan9204 That is really impressive. Coming in contact with so many different types of people and culture, you have got an enriched life. Yes, more than varied for sure.
This is basically also the recipe for making Napalm. This will stick to anything if ignited and burn for a very long time.
That’s what I thought. I couldn’t think of the name though. 😂
I thought that was mixed with gasoline?
@@VMR41 Yes, it is usually mixed with gasoline. But when mixed with any extremely flammable solvent it will wind up reacting just like napalm. Be careful around ignition sources!
good job thank u 4 info
Thank you very much it is very useful !
Волшебная баночка! Аппетит как у моей тёщи...
Не рекомендую это кушать ) Здоровье на этом и закончится. Лучше использовать по назначению - покрывать этой жидкостью поделки и т.д.
Súper 👍
Thanks 😊
المادة السائلة هل هي بنزين السيارات ( نستخدم بنزين السيارات + الفلين لعمل لاصق قوي جداً)
Perfect
Essentially you have created a polyystyrene based synthetic lacquer.
wonderful
Thankyou
Harika tam aradığım şeyler sizin kanalımızda teşekkür ederim
Where do you get Cellulose Thinner Solvent in the USA?
Bonjour, merci merci pour le tuto de cette belle maison, j'ai presque terminé ! par contre étant débutante, je me pose la question sur le solvant, y a t'il une différence avec "diluant" ? car je ne voudrais pas faire de bêtise regrettable !
Very good video and useful . I used this method when I built my first model RC airplanes, It seals balsa wood really well (I was ten years old!) I was a bit confused by the title of this video. May be it should say
“Disolve Styrofoam for plastic coating of your proyects "
I had to re-read the title a couple of times, which is what I clicked on it. I think it's missing the 'f' is supposed to say For , not Or.
Raymond, for balsa glueing, now i find abroad ( even in non-modellistic shops ) the following glue : "UHU - Hart" that has the same smell and appearance of that glue used when i was a boy ( now i am ... a bit older 😆 ); it was selled in anonymous little bottles only in modellistic shops, with clear appearance as water ( but much more dense ), i always heard it was made with celluloid dissolved in acethone ...
UHU - Hart is just the same, you can buy also from internet in 125 ml or 33 ml tube ...
At that time i used to diluite the "anonymous" version with acethone to give a better resistance and a finish to the silk-paper around the wings ...
I'm much interested in this glue made from styrofoam in acethone, i just only fear about burning styrofoam, i heard of very tossic fumes from an odd combustion ...
My best greatings from Italy ...
THATS VERY HELPFUL. BETTER THAN POLYERTHANE
Hocam bu solüsyonu yürüyüş yollarının adım taşlarını vernik benzeri veya taş cilası benzeri kaplaması yerine kullanabilirmiyiz? Teşekkürler.
Merhaba. Bence bu çözümü dediğin gibi kullanabilirsin. Ancak adımları kapatmak için çözünmüş köpük kullanmadım, bu yüzden %100 emin olamam. Denemeye karar verirseniz, lütfen sonucu yazın.
Ayrıca güvenlik kurallarına uymayı da unutmayın. Akciğerlerinizi ve vücudun diğer kısımlarını koruyun ve açık alevin olmadığı yerlerde çalışın.
Interesting! When dissolving the styrofoam, does it create harmful fumes? Thank you!
Hello. The solvent has harmful fumes. That is why it is recommended to work with this substance outdoors or in a well-ventilated room.
Noted! Thank u!
What is in the cellulose thinner and solvent mixture
Скажите пожалуйста, таким пластиком можно заливать силиконовые молды?
Hi How long will this product Last say to store it? Than ks I've been trying to find that information out.
Muy bueno. Yo recuerdo que lo hacía en cuba con gasolina y si queda igual que un barniz. Es muy efectivo y duradero, además de económico. Gracias por compartir. Ese líquido disolvente donde se consigue, por favor. 👍👍👍😘😘😘💝💝
Hola. Gracias por un buen comentario. Compro el solvente en la tienda del departamento donde se venden pinturas comunes.
Hola mercedes, Buen tip
Solo gasolina?
No dísel ?
Graciassss

Excellent , going to try this on my fairy houses
Hello. Try it. I cover my fairy houses with this solution and I like it. But do not forget to follow safety rules when working with solvent. Protect your lungs and hands and work where there is no open fire.
Hello, I really like this idea, but I’ve been unable to get the styrofoam to the consistency shown to be able to apply with a brush. Instead what I get is more of a play-doh like clump. I’ve tried with both pure acetone and Klean Strip Lacquer Thinner. Any ideas as to what I’m doing wrong? Thank you.
Hello. You're doing everything right. The main problem is the solvent. I recommend you to go to a store that sells solvents and ask the sellers which solvent is best for dissolving Styrofoam. Then buy the smallest amount of solvent and try dissolving the Styrofoam in it.
Muito bom
Hola, te pregunto q clase de disolvente es? Muchas geacias
Hola. No sé cómo se llama en español. Este es un solvente de celulosa común que se puede comprar en la tienda en el departamento de pinturas, barnices, etc. Simplemente pregunte en la tienda por un solvente que pueda disolver la espuma de poliestireno.
Все гениальное так просто .давно искала чем заменить лак.Супер мастер класс.А со временем он не пожелтеет?
Здравствуйте. Это покрытие не должно пожелтеть.
You are a genius there is millions of other applications for this to be used
Hello. To be honest, I did not understand your comment.
@@CheerfulCraft outside such as coating a wood fence
@@CheerfulCraft She believes the dissolved Styrofoam could be used for many other applications.
how to store it with out dry in container ? is there any preservative help keep long time
Many other solvents can be used ( Benzene , Toluene , Xylene ...etc... ) .... best to test a tiny area first .... the solvent might WRECK your model's paint job ! ! ......... DAVE™ ...............

ربي يوفقك واتمنى لك كل خير شكرا👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
أهلا. شكرا جزيلا على التعليق الجميل لك!
I have several 3-4 foot styrofoam statues for Halloween and transfer also to Christmas. They are stored for 9 months,m but because of size, take up too much room. I want to create a strong plastic form of each of them. It’s not so much about details, but I’d like to do my best to create the forms, and ultimately make them strong enough like a thermoplastic similar to Halloween pumpkin candy pales, which wont be destroyed by the weather and then ultimately toss the styrofoam. My only thoughts are to create fiberglass shells, or to create silicone rubber molds followed by putting the plastic inside, but every process, is a little too pro, for the process and requires too much money. I’m really looking for the cheapest way out of making each of these 3-4 foot statues at no cost, which are lighter, hollow, maybe translucent for light and can store easily. Do you have any suggestions?
Wow, interesting, but I'm unlikely to be able to help you with that question.
Can i use also sentetik tiner? And can you seal it over acrilic water baded colors?
What is the ratio of solvent to styrofoam to get the proper mix? This is the coolest thing ever! I have a zillion uses for this. Thank you.
Hi. I think that there is no specific ratio. Everyone makes such a consistency that he needs for work.
Hola buenas noches una pregunta yo lo quiero hacer pero el solvente es el mismo tiner el que venden en las tiendas de pinturas le agradecería si me responde gracias bendiciones
Hola. Utilizo un solvente que tengo en mi país llamado "Solvente n". Se vende online o en una tienda del departamento con pinturas, barnices y disolventes diversos.
Your idea is super. Please tell the pros and cons of this coating. How do you wash the brush?? With which you wash it?? Can we reuse the brush or we have to throw it. What happens If this solution falls on skin??
Hello. Thanks for the comment and question.
You can wash the brush in a clean solvent, but I do not wash it, I just put it to dry. Then, before using it again, I put the brush in the solution for a few minutes. There the plastic dissolves and the brush is ready for use again.
Use dissolved foam carefully. The rules for using this solution are the same as with regular super glue. It is desirable to prevent the solution from getting on the skin and especially in the eyes. But if the solution gets on the skin, then in a few seconds the solvent dries and a thin layer of plastic remains on the skin. It can be removed with your fingers. It is easier to do it under running water. If the solution gets into the eyes, rinse them with water as soon as possible and consult a doctor if necessary.
@@CheerfulCraft Thanks for the prompt reply. I will definitely try this and get back to you. Thanks again for your help.
