Subject: [Puptcrit] Foam Figures



 Has anyone ever tried using expanding foam to create a base for figure heads
 I'm talking about the noncommercial stuff  "Great Stuff" or equiv..
 I had considered making a hollow mold, blow up a balloon to fit inside with 
some
 1/2 " space, fill with expanding foam, when set, pop the balloon leaving a 
hollow
 interior, then proceed from there to finish, painting, eye and mouth 
mechanics and
 so on.
 I would think Axtell uses some kind of expanding foam in his work.
 Are there any sites describing this technique and how well would the foam 
take
 paint?. if I remember it hardens to a glass like surface.
