And we’re back!
Styrene
What it is: A plastic. Considered toxic in it’s gaseous/liquid form.
What it comes in: Sheets, of various sizes. I have also seen them in tubes and foam blocks/sheets
What it does: Creates a hardened layer, like wonderflex, to make armor.
What Can Go Over It: Paint, gesso, hot glue….
What It Goes Over: It needs a base and usually is matched with craft foam.
Places to Buy: cosplaysupplies,com, Hobbylinc.com, dickblick.com, even Amazon.com
Pros: Good, solid lightweight option for armor,
Cons: Won’t take hits very well like WF,
Helpful Hint: Check out The Prop Bible by Teresa Dietzinger. They are worth every penny in terms of information on making stuff, including working with Styrene.
