Aku Aku is... Coming Along
Added 2025-02-15 18:00:07 +0000 UTCOk, so, massage table foam, holy beans, batman - it's the most deceptively porous stuff in the ENTIRE WORLD. Even with 2 layers of glue, well, the glue soaked into the holes. (insert screaming) so when we paint, it'll be... rough.

I will leave glue and seeping holes alone. . .what I love is that adorable grin on Kyle's face, seriously, so handsome!

2025-02-15 20:38:58 +0000 UTCTry painting glue on and putting tissue paper on and then glue over that. the tissue paper will make a barrier over that dang absorbing foam. It can be done with strips of newspaper as well, but I really like tissue paper--white is best but depending on what you are painting color can bleed through.

2025-02-15 20:38:17 +0000 UTCCould you Mod Podge tissue paper over the foam to give the paint something to stick to?
