TOWM , divided equally should do ... for a time ... :roll:

You know, Foamies with a canvas skin are just Naturals for some murals ... that was my original idea for mine ... just got sidetracked ... :D

Hiya.

New here but watching this thread with great interest.

Since you seem to be at the point where you're going to start skinning the outside soon, I was curious about something for a possible coating.

Since the foam can be primed (right?), has anybody considered the possibility of using bedliner coating to cover it with?

The stuff is lightweight, extremely durable and can either be sprayed or rolled on, depending on the volume of it you need.

It's normally purchased in black but other colors can be ordered or it can be painted.

I tried spraying some of the rustoleum brand of it on a simple piece of styrofoam and it melted a good bit. The duplicolor brand I used to spray the plastics on a motorcycle was clogged so I didn't get to try that but I'd imagine it would do the same. If the piece can be primed first, though, that wouldn't be a problem, I'd think.

Just thought it might be worth considering?

Sorry, we don’t get snow here but once every ten years or so , and it only lasts a couple hours and then is gone ... so I have little experience with the white stuff ... However , it does appear to be VERY COLD !!! :o

There's not much warm weather left this year... It might have to wait til next spring...

Besides I am trying to decide how to round over the outside edges, with a little more precision than just eyeballing it.
