Giving Foam Texture...

[shtick]

Anyone know of any good techniques or materials for giving polyfoam various textures that resemble real objects such as a saucy meatball (glossy) or a brick (brittle).

Sculpt-or-Coat would probably do the trick. Check out Sculptural Arts, they sell it and other similar coating products.

you know I recently bought sculpt or coat.....and did a few tests....but a few days after it dried etc. the foam and coating would break and crumble....was I doing something wrong?

Hi,
You can al so use a product called dip-it and spray dip-it, But it is very toxic so you have to do it out side and wear a resperator. Well you don't have to do this but I would recamend it and so does the manufacturer. I use it to coat noses and in some cases whole puppets. It is made for coating tools to give you a grip on the handles.

Hope this helps,
