Subject: PUPT: Painting over contact cement
Date: Sat, 26 Jun 2004 01:44:59 -0400


Hi all, got a question for the pros...

Spent the entire day on my latest prop (a four feet high alien for a tv
episode)
and am barely able to think in other subjects than tape, tape some more, and
oh my god I hope I have enough tape.
(skin is white hockey tape. Paints easily, and provides interesting
wrinkles. Then two coats of latex interior paint.

However, somebody told me he uses contact cement as an undercoat for
difficult to paint surfaces.
I haven't seen the result, so I am wondering if anyone has had any
experience with this method.

I thought this undercoat would help in preventing the corners of the hockey
tape to peel overtime, and serve as a good binder between the touching
layers of tape.

The contact cement I have is Press-Tite Green, by Lepage.

Any ideas/ warnings/apocalyptic predictions related to this method?
Thanks!
