projectcosplay:These were made with mirror vinyl (bought from a Chinese seller) over craft foam held together with various glues.This is the process / tutorial used. Use the following chart when adhering materials so they stick well:Vinyl front to vinyl front: Super Glue / Krazy GlueFoam to vinyl front: Coat the foam in a very thin layer of hot glue, let it dry, then use Super Glue / Krazy GlueFoam to vinyl backing: Contact Cement / Contact SprayFoam to foam: Hot Glue (or your favorite method…this is my preferred)Others have used contact cement to hold the foam to the vinyl backing but because contact cement smells like death to me, I prefer the contact spray adhesive instead.Really love using this method as it’s fast, easy, and light. Luckily, my armor did not have any complex curves because if it did, I would have used Worbla instead. -- source link
