    I'm going to ask my number one gripe question, does it show us how to fix problems as they arise ? I can now say after working with foam that I'm almost obsessive with it with some of my projects. Its cheep, light weight, easy to get, and easier to work with. What happens when I mess up though ? When I know what I'm doing on a project I'm super fast and get things done. An normally not a problem but what do I do when I make a mistake ?? When I'm on smaller projects I have not a care in the world because if I mess up I can toss it out and start over again.. But what do I do when its a BIG project.. you just can't scrap this and start all over.

    Also is this going to cover what glues I can use if I want to add on ? I know some one that made a fantastic skull and horn set from styrofoam and almost destroyed it !! He was about to put a special sealant on it but quickly thought maybe I should test this on another piece first. Thank goodness he did because it dissolved before his very eyes !! Are there dangers like these that we should know about ?

      Its funny you mention that because yes we did address this in the video... however I will address it now.

      When you screw up you can fix it easy... you just add more playdoh to the mix. LOL

      Look a foam project is simple you scupt on something over and over again and even when its done its NOT totally done until its hard coated in one way or another.

      So unless you've made that final step of hard coating your foam project you can fix anything...

      If you make a mistake you just take a chunk of foam and glue it over the mess up and then start over. You can cut that messed up chunk out and glue a new piece in, or just glue new foam over the top of the whatever you messed up foam.

      You can seal all the cracks between the new foam and original foam with spray foam sanded down.

      We do this all the time... actually its explained better in the video.

      I hope this helps.

          Cool video Larry,
          You guys do a great job putting together usefull information on dvd. I just watched again your dvd on detailing. Seems like you can always get something out of watching in no matter how many times I watch it. Ill be looking into this dvd as well. Maybe pick it up from you in St Louis if you will have them there. Great Job!

            Looks like it will be a good dvd. Im with Kelly, you all do a great job on all of your videos. How much is it gonna be? And are you going to have another detail video too? Think you mentioned that. Just making sure. I would like to see you foam carve a facade to an entrance or crypt in steps. See it all come together.
            Thanks,
            Damon
