Some of the products used in this project:
Flexbond
A clear, flexible scenic glue which bonds many porous and nonporous scenic materials.
FlexBond is also often mixed with Foamcoat. When used alone as a glue, it dries to a
clear, hard, yet pliable coating that does not suffer from the "tackiness"
common in many other flexible glues. unlike ordinary "white" glues, which crack
and break when flexed, the adhesive bond of FlexBond remains extremely pliable and strong
even as the material bends and deforms
Tough Prime
A water-based primer often used for the hard-to-prime scenic materials found in every
scene shop. Tough Prime adheres to just about any surface, including PVC pipe, aluminum,
foams and plastics, as well as muslin, wood and foam core. This quick drying acrylic
emulsion primer dries to a tough, durable coating which can be painted over with any paint
and is excellent for both interior and exterior use.
