These videos are so educational. I love them. Thank you for teaching me about the plastic wrap. I used to use baking paper and that didn't always work out well. I hope you can make a video about worbla and maybe how you can combine worbla with foam. I would love to see that!!

[@laminateB1onicle]

That’s a great video idea I’ve personally never used worbla ( just a little bit from my friend) and never heard of combining it with foam so that’s pretty neat

I feel the need to puzzle with foamclay! Solving the mysteries of foam

[@thatonethere9858]

Wow, that's a great post with so much information! I feel more confident to try foam clay modelling now. Thank you for sharing, especially the five uses of foam clay; I hadn't thought beyond sculpting.

[@KikiG75ThatBritishWoman]

You are a life saver bro. Thanks for this video

[@lauriebieda4498]

Thanks so much,i bought it but it never said anywhere about using water to help smooth it out,all I could make was like 3yr. Old things,so informative.And there were no videos on how to use it,again thanks 🙏

Love the dkc soundtrack

[@fallnplays]

this is exactly what i was looking for im trying to find a way to make a prop ghost from the video game destiny to stick on a wire to have on my shoulder like its hovering (maybe with an LED for the opticle but paints is enough to start as a beginner i dont wanna get over ambitious lol )

[@NuisanceDM]

This video taught me so much and saved weeks of struggle. Thank you so much

[@WATTScostumes]

Thankyou for doing this. Looks like great stuff.

Is this music from Donkey kong country 2 for SNES?...... Sorry, awesome video BTW, I'm curently working on the blades of chaos so this was hugely helpful, but the music gave me a childhood flash back lol

[@Camcerhammer]

My problem with foamclay is that even tho I sand it the surface shine through plasti dip. Do i need to apply more layer of plasti dip to unify the surface with eva foam?

[@RoRo-zh4uf]

Could I use this foam clay over top xps foam and floral craft foam ?

[@Nicetrybutnotsleeping]

Can you coat foam clay with like a clear urethane or something that will protect it from the outside elements?

[@maerunua5330]

is this clay flexible when it dries? like an EVA sheet or is more hard like other clays such as DAS or Sculpey?

[@cosplayshopyt]

it keeps relatively flexible, KINDA just watch out for cracks if you overdo it

[@fenthedog]

how can I give a felt effect to eva foam?

[@daisyiris]

Can I use foam clay on 2mm foam? I need to make thin decoration

[@mapit07]

After it dries can you can bend into a curved shape and have it retain that shape. I’m using it to create rocks on a mountain from molds on my n scale model train layout and need the rock to follow the topography

[@cosplayshopyt]

Depending on how thicc it is you can! You could also just sculpt it on a curved shape (with some clingfilm in between) and transfer it when dry. -Skyshark

[@mapit07]

@@cosplayshopytthanks. What do use to make it pliable, water, heat, other?

[@JettCrocodile]

is this good for like wearable cosplays?

[@marianm.6051]

Great video! Quick question: How do i attach the dried silicone molded foam clay to the surface of my eva foam? Just put water on the back of the molded clay and the eva foam area where im attaching and press very very lightly down? Or do i use contact cement to attach it? Thanks!!

[@cosplayshopyt]

contact cement should work perfectly! -SkyShark

[@christinegonzalez2932]

would foam clay stick to cardboard?

[@ericocuaca854]

After dry, the clay is flexible?

[@4lienT0kita_]

Nope, you must be careful, if you try to bend It, i'll break

[@k7cos]

I want to use some foamclay as filler buuuut I'm really impatient. Would it work to use a hairdryer on low heat to speed up the drying process? Or is that a bad idea 🤡

[@cosplayshopyt]

that works 8)

[@Zonnedans]

Thank you, this video makes me want to try it! I'm thinking of using it for sculpting. Can you also use a metal or cardboard base inside the clay, or wrap it around an iron wire or something similar? Or would it crack if I tried that?

[@cosplayshopyt]

jup! the iron wire technique is how people make for example antlers with it! -SkyShark

[@Zonnedans]

@@cosplayshopyt Thanks for your answer! I am going to order it and try it out! I’m looking forward to testing and playing! ^^

[@lucaskatesfast]

Is the foam water resistant, once dried out?

[@cosplayshopyt]

Not really, it will probably get mushy. However when you painted it and added a sealer it sure is! -SkyShark

[@newageoutlaw73]

Is there a way to stop shrinkage?

[@cosplayshopyt]

not really, all in all shrinkage isnt that bad. best thing to do is also add a core of for example tinfoil so that it can't collapse.
