did the paint harden the foam or what did you use so it isnt so flimsy
@MuchPropsСағат бұрын
No, the paint doesn't harden the foam. An EVA foam helmet is a bit flimsy. If you want to stiffen it up on the edges, you could always glue a support wire on the inside and then add some thin EVA to cover it up. You could also add a few layers of Mod Podge before you spray paint to stiffen it a little. Another option if you want it super rigid is to add Worbla to the outside surfaces. Or get denser EVA. There are lots of options. Hope this helps

Thomas, I used to put out a podcast each week and could not sustain. What you're calling a block might just be grief. And it’s absolutely amazing that you're working through it creatively. Somewhere in my channel I also have a post about writer's block but that was because a professional novelist said it wasn't real. You are allowed a break. Our culture punishes people who don't work themselves literally to death. In France, they're not allowed to send business emails after 6pm. Here: I get press releases and business promos every day and night. I just keep my phone off now and fall behind on real email because we shouldn't be expected to work that way. I'm sorry for your loss.

Thomas, I swear it's like you read my mind. I was just talking about this with my therapist. I experienced a mental block that lasted an entire year. I just couldn't access my skills. No matter what I did. One day I just sat down to build an infinity gauntlet and poof nothing. Couldn't even follow a template. My brain and hands just weren't communicating. I am now finally in a place I feel like I could try again. I love your channel and your videos are always a source of entertainment and inspiration.
