hey Cosplayers are you wanting to work
with EVA foam or wondering
what in the world is the best glue to
use on EVA Foam
well you're about to find out in this
video make sure to subscribe and hit
that Bell notification so you get
notified whenever we come out with these
quick tip clip videos so that you can
get those quick tips all the time
alright if you've had this problem
you're trying to use EVA foam and
you're not sure what's the best glue to
use or you're trying to get into evey a
foam and don't know what the best glue
is comment glue in the in the comments
below and that will help me to know if
this is resonating with you guys and if
I should create some more videos on
gluing tips and techniques alright so
with that let's go ahead and get started
so a lot of people I've heard say to use
things like e6000 or some other types of
glues that are similar to that and while
they may hold really really well once
they set up it's really hard to get them
to to hold it long enough for them to
dry and then have it stay especially
we're including I can edge to edge with
foam so what I recommend three different
types of glues for different situations
number one the go-to for most every
situation is going to be contact cement
there's two different kinds out there
there's the water-based contact cement
which doesn't work that well and then
there's the original regular contact
cement now
with contact cement there's two
different brands that people swear by up
and down by and they're like have it one
way or the other
between barge or adapt well would
contact cement that well was what I use
because it's easy to get a hold of I
have a friend that's tried both and said
he's seen no significant difference but
I know that I'll probably get a lot of
people riled up because there's a really
big barge fans but you can do either one
contact cement is the way to go now it's
good to be so secure and hold really
really well and you're you're not gonna
have to worry about your seams coming
apart anything that especially edge to
edge the part is the best part is is
that it glues it sticks on contact so
you spread it on the both sides let it
dry for about five to ten minutes and
then you stick the Rubies
together and they're stuck so you can
put seams together really easily about
we can keep just that the newer it is oh
yes great points so the newer year
contact cement is the better it works I
had some contact cement that I'd been
using for about a year and I was like
why isn't this sticking anymore and it's
because it just got old so I like to get
just these smaller cans size rather than
a big gallon because I didn't use it
fast enough and it kind of went bad
before I could use it all so great fun
thank you
another big go-to is hot glue right so
hot glue is going to work really well
especially for attaching straps
different things to glue I like to use
this to four different techniques in the
in the foam to be able to fill gaps and
different things on the backside gluing
straps on it or things and when you do
that you want to just kind of score the
surface of the foam with a razor blade
first in kind of a crisscross pattern
and then apply your glue onto that and
then that way the hot glue seeps in
there and has something to really hold
on to really helps hot glue to work well
with PVA phone when you're doing small
little details sometimes it can be hard
to do contact cement it gets a little
messy and or hot glue it's just hard to
get in and the small days without and a
bunch of bleed or goo coming out from
the hot glue and so that's where super
glue comes in small little detail pieces
super glue works great glue in little
pieces on like that so that's the three
contact cement hot glue super glue all
right now we're doing these quick tip
Clips videos all the time
and I want to hear from you guys what's
your greatest challenge when it comes to
cosplaying in general with eda foam or
whatever it might be in cosplay what's
your greatest challenge let us know in
the comments below and we can hopefully
we'll hopefully make it put out a video
answering your question and your
greatest challenge because there's other
people that probably have the same
challenges that they're dealing with all
right well thank you guys so much if you
like this video give it a like if you
didn't go ahead and give it a thumbs
down make sure to subscribe so you get
more of these and if you found this
video helpful and you think you have a
friend that's into cosplay and is one
same thing go ahead and share that with
them thank you guys so much
cosplay on my friends
