We were thinking of using this over foam board for my son's mission project. Never used this--do you just get it wet and apply or mold?

this stuff is great. You can pre wet it or form it dry over the project and use a spray bottle to wet it. it will harden like a rock. only caveat is it might take two layers to prevent "see thru" if the cloth is used over something hollow.

Yes, but application is a bit different: I used a broom and sprinkled just a little powder near the baseboards, brushing it under the moldings. Then I smeared the powdery film left over into nearby cracks between the boards. I continued that way around the rooms. You may not have cracks though -- I have an old house and had an old apartment :)

This foam board is like a paper poster board with some styrofoam in the center. It looks and feels like paper -- like any poster board you would get at Walmart. It's just like the foam core from Hobby Lobby. Great for art projects. But it's not going to resist water or heat.

I use it for swamp cooler repair.It is very slick,but I think after application while still wet you could put sand on top ,and pat some into the epoxy before it cures.It already A very thick mixture,not sure what mixing sand in would do to the mixing,and curing process

It requires a mortar base which must be cured before you adhere the mat in mortar itself. We did this over our plywood subfloor;very easy.

Just wait it might take a few hours to start making foam. Set it like the package says, and wait for the foam to build. It will take some patience to see results but it will work great.

We used a box cutter with the same results. It is the way the foam was compressed that causes it to flake slightly when cut. You might find a white tape that can be adhered to the edge for a smoother look.

This stuff is amazing in very small spaces. I used it on metal (aluminum) for a drift boat hull. It is very viscous and difficult to spread evenly. I would suggest using the two part epoxy garage floor paint. You can usually find it any major store like Lowe's or Home Depot. I would not use Coat-it or Gluv-it on a floor. It would be a nightmare to spread evening and it doesn't look good when it's finished. I didn't mind because it was on the bottom of my boat and it really help make it slicker in the water and on rocks. So, in short, its awesome when used in certain applications but I think a floor is not one of them. This stuff is amazing in very small spaces. I used it on metal (aluminum) for a drift boat hull.

I'm not sure if i fully understand your question but I used this foam to add floatation that I removed when rebuilding my boat deck and a few tips for someone using it for that would be figure out the weight of the boat and how much foam u will need for flotation and then figure out the cubic ft of were u are filling the 2 gallons of foam do not cover as much area as u may think and it does generate some heat well it expands and if u are pouring it into the deck u will want a hole for air and extra foam to escape out I had my boat tilted forward so well it was liquid it ran to the front and slowly expanded to the back as a kept pouring there are also different grade of foam that may have more structural integrity if u are using it to strengthen a weak spot but You will need more foam because it doesn't expand as much per gallon when I finished my boat I ended up not being able to fill everything I would of liked to because of cost and ended up only using enough to float the weight of the boat if it sank I later talked to some one that does spray installation for homes who told me he could of done the whole inside of the boat for free with what he has left after spraying a home the only problem would have been it may not of been as oil/ water resistant as this product but he did say it was a closed cell 2 part expandable foam and really shouldn't of been that different so now I'm kinda kicking myself for not doing it I also wished that I added regular foam blocks I had from docks I had built to use as a filler then poured the foam around them so I wouldn't of needed so much pour foam hope this helps

I would not recommend that application. Probably the best and least expensive method would be a fiberglass bat (without vapor barrier) covered with drywall. If you do not want to cover the insulation, you might use an XPS (extruded polystyrene) board.

This is exactly my question too! I had an indoor sofa covered in Sunbrella fabric and put outside - the rain puddles in the seat and seeps through the seams so I have some mold underneath. I don't know if its dangerous but would like to use this ... did you try it and did it work? Thanks in advance

I do not know, I am sorry. I used mine to make "Chalkboard" Paint for use in the house. If the mold is dry, I would expect that you could do so. The carbon fibers and fiberglass should not stick to the mold. If you are worried about it, as previously done with Fiberglass, just put on a light coat of wax to avoid sticking.

Agreed, mold can develop if you let it wet for too long. However, I do recommend this product. Have been using it for some months now and no complains.

If you plan to pour it in and let it dry as a thick brick shape in the box, Melamine board with either silicon mold release on it, or plastic wrap over the board on the end you dont want it pouring out of. If you mean you are just gonna put it on to get a thin layer on all sides of it, I don't think this will be the right product for you. I would go with a spray on poly. This product is a thick, self leveling viscous liquid. It won't stick to the aluminum long enough to dry evenly.

Get yourself a Loctite ( I used the PL 375 Heavy Duty ) all purpose adhesive tube from any Home Depot or Loew's and get a caulking gun, pop the tube in it and apply to the back of each foam square. Press them on the wall or where ever you want them to go. Cheers!

Rub it on the baseboard molding if you have it. If not rub it about 5 inches above the floor on the wall.

I'm planning on getting cheap plywood or foam from a hardware store and using either spray tacky glue or modge podge to "mount" it. I'm going to paint the edges of the plywood or foam with craft paint and buy it about a half inch larger than the print for a small border. There are a lot of DIY websites with these projects that look great.
