FoamCoat
Foamcoat is a water-based, flame retarding protective coating for Styrofoam and polystyrene foams. It is often mixed with FlexBond, as it was for the project described in these pages. Whether diluted or used alone, Foamcoat dries to a hard durable coating that resists chipping and cracking, yet can be sanded smooth or carved with detailing. Foamcoat is often used as a texturing agent to create custom patterns like bark or stone work.

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.

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

Supersaturated RoscoPaint
One of Rosco’s three ranges of scenic paints, Supersaturated is specially suited to the glazing techniques described in this brochure. The range includes 23 brilliant, dye-like colors. Supersaturated with pigment, the colors are formulated to be diluted with substantial quantities of water while retaining binder strength. This paint adheres to most scenic I surfaces, including muslin, plastic and metal and dries to a completely matte, non-reflective finish.
