Preparation, tool and rules

Foam does not require great physical effort. Crafts are easy to correct - cut up too much, add missing volume. At the same time, there are certain requirements for working with this material.

The figures are made in the open air (but do not act for minus weather). The finished product is not afraid of temperature drops, moisture ingress, but it is better to avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight.

Transparent varnish will create additional protection from weather conditions. More often use furniture varnish, but applied ship.

It is more convenient to take the mounting foam for winter work - it is better holding the form during the manufacture of crafts, and also more adapted for the conditions of the street.

Mounting foam for winter conditions will be better to keep the form

The material is dumping, so it is worth taking care of gloves (2-3 pairs) and working clothes, as well as about film or other platform protection.

Foam sticky, which means that the solvent is useful for cleaning the hands and surface.

The sealant is applied by layers, giving each layer to dry well (at least 15 minutes). On average, the time of complete drying is 10-12 hours (the big size figure will take up to a week). After drying, you can handle the product - cut off, priming, painting. For the "sculpture" you need a sharp knife (the stationery is suitable), and for the manufacture of a frame - wire, plastic bottles, old unnecessary dishes (pans and so on.), Nails, fishing line, etc.

For the decoration of crafts and protection against external weather conditions, we will need shtclox and acrylic paint.

For work, take care of a suitable tassel, winds, sandpaper for grinding, water sprayer.
