Question 1

Any advice on painting this product, I have tried a few different things but it never gets a good solid coat?

Accepted Answer

Paint it with any PVA as a sealant first, then acrylic paints on top

Question 2

Is this foam board suitable for mounting A3 photogenic prints?

Accepted Answer

This foam is generally used for model making and similar crafting. Foam board, which is foam sandwiched between thin card would work better for mounting prints. However this could work for that purpose, I have only used it for crafting though

Question 3

Is this foam board suitable for mounting A3 photogenic prints? Also, how can you ensure delivery without damaged edges?

Accepted Answer

The foam is well packaged and I had no issues with my deliveries

Question 4

Could I use this to create a mock brick-work diorama for a Tamiya military model I'm making?

Accepted Answer

Even the blue foam was difficult to sculpt. The black foam has a grain so it cuts badly along it. I would recommend plastic moulded brick sheets e.g. from Slaters Plastikard or from Wills, alternatively glue brick papers to a solid backing. Another option is to carve DAS modelling clay (I prefer it to be still "wet") laid 2-3mm thick on foamboard coated with PVA (helps the DAS to adhere). Scoring with a ruler makes brickwork easy in theory but consistency is difficult; stonework is more challenging but consistency does not matter so much! Good Luck from a railway modeller.
