Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: Required materials for glassing foam.


1
Required materials for glassing foam.
  • 220, 400 600 Grit sandpaper
  • Minwax Polycrylic (clear satin)
  • 3/4oz glass cloth
  • Foam brush
  • Xacto knife (sharp blade)
  • Light weight spackle

2
Sand and fill foam before you glass.
  • Sand all foam parts with 220grit sand paper to
    remove the mold marks and other defects before
    applying the glass.
  • Any imperfections in the foam WILL show through
    the glass coating.
  • You may have to use multiple coats of spackle for
    deep dents or other foam defects.

3
Cut the cloth a little larger than the item to be
covered.
4
Apply the WBPU directly to the surface of the
cloth, you do not need wet the foam surface first.
5
More application photos
6
Work slowly around tight curves, the cloth will
conform to surprisingly complex surfaces. Cut
cloth if/when necessary to fit into corners.
7
Finished, let dry overnight.
8
Once dry, cut cloth with a sharp knife, and sand
edges smooth with 400grit sandpaper.
9
Sand edges with 400 grit.
10
After edges are cleaned up, sand surfaces with
600grit sandpaper and apply second coat of WBPU.
You can sand and apply 3rd coat if you like. I
would not recommend using more than 3 coats for
WBPU.
