After a few years of this being stalled, my Miss Piggy head sculpture is finally finished and ready to cast. Can anyone recommend a product or brand of foam that they have used before? This is totally new to me. I would welcome any advice from you seasoned special effects folks! Looking for cold cast expandable foam I think...
Thanks :mad:

I've worked with FlexFoam-iT before (Google it), but there may be better products on the market. It is relatively easy to use and produces decent results if you're looking for a cold cast expanding foam.

I don't have the facilities for foam you have to bake. I'll check it out. Thanks. Ever create a puppet with it?
