@@StiltbeastStudios I agree with J C you are the master. I've never thought to use gorilla glue that way! Your MacGyver skills in making stuff is mind blowing, I've learned a lot from you. Thank you.

I like your free form approach to making the skull. Looks cool! But using the heat gun next to the open can of glue was giving me the shivers. Boom!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Nah, not even boom with open flame. It would burn like a can of sterno.

[@jameslivingstone8267]

I've also tried hot glue on eva foam but it just doesn't want to hold parts together. Once I tried contact cement, I've never looked back! Those 10 minutes waiting for it to dry is definitely worth saving the hours you might spend wrestling with hot glue! Thanks for another great video!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

takes 5 min for the hot glue to cool really

[@puppetville-bethobrien4139]

I'm watching these not sure if I've got butterflies from so much renewed enthusiasm for my passion, or (and) a touch of nausea at how close I've been to the answers I was seeking in my artistic evolutions with materials. As you sculpt one after another of my project ideas. I too teach what I learn, as art is what seperates us from the animals, sooths us, and brings people together. I encourage sharing, as we all have our own style. I'm a puppet maker, but use them in videos as well. I burned out and had hit a wall 4 years thick. Only recently could I look, learn build again. You turned my flame back into a raging Inferno By answering question after question with visual and audio Your humble, too I hope you have much success ~Beth in SC

You are a magician man. You're eva foam work baffles me...perhaps because I've never tried building with it. I need eva foam building lessons for dummies. Anyway, I really love this! Great technique with the gorilla glue too. I think you could make some good looking tree bark with this method. At one point the skull reminded me of Groot a little. Lots of foam in this project. Please do more if possible. I would love a DVD with your teachings on basic to advanced techniques with eva foam. I have a difficult time with patterns and such. As always, Thank you! 🤘💀

[@kinw2436]

GORILLA glue = Awesome. HOWEVER, what SMOOTH paintable HARDENING agent(s) on EVA foam would you suggest? Thanks from a serious newbie.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

nothing will go on with all those qualities. fiberglass can be painted on, but will need sanding, ezflow resin can be painted non but will need sanding and has a short working time. linex truck bedliner is a great hardener but needs to be sprayed on. I guess epoxy resin is your best bet- like WEST fast 205 hardener and resin.
