Newbie here with new questions

How durable is a foaming teardrop. What should I use for gluing together? What do I use for canvas and attaching said canvas, as well as curing or hardening the surface?

Hi. Welcome! Very durable. The glueing sticky has a lot of info on various trials. Canvas runs the gambit from drop cloths to purchased speciality lengths and widths. Tight bond II is most common for canvas attachment, thigh paint and gripper are also used. The big thread covers a lot of this. The build threads are worth looking at too.

Looks like we’ll need a dedicated Foamie Hall of Fame , just to show it’s possible and it does work ... The new guys can then see all the foamies that have been previously built . :thinking:

We have that already, but I don't think it has been being maintained.
