How to clean up contact cement on foam cosplay

Messy contact cement on EVA foam armor and cosplay props can ruin an otherwise clean build. You can use acetone (in the form of nail polish remover) to clean it up before priming and painting. Just be mindful it is a solvent and you'll want to take some safety precautions before you use it.

nice tips

[@erinbwr]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is such a helpful tip and will hopefully solve(nt) some glue problems on my Shadowheart armour. Love short and to-the-point videos like these, I've subscribed :D

[@jayniir-pd8jl]

Baldurs gate mentioned as well as a decent pun, nice comment!

[@MossNada]

Absolute life saver! The two projects I tried failed kinda miserably because of glue ruining the look. This is almost essential info and I'm surprised more tutorials don't include it. Thank you!

[@Red-zv2xt]

Thank youuu you're right, noone talks about this, so I'm glad to have some tips!

[@Milkjiest]

thank youuu!! I'm making sister of battle cosplay and had some ugly ugly ugly seams!

[@ianlamarche7116]

I was literally just wondering this, thank you!
this is super clear and helpful

[@jonibarton]

Video good. 😊

[@jayniir-pd8jl]

Does this work for older seams? I tried using it on some seams that are about a week old but it didn’t come off :(

[@yojimboboss]

Cool

or put a coat of contact cement over the outside and your one step closer to paint

+ make sure you label the bottle clearly to avoid accidental misuse! 💀

[@HimboHusbando]

Absolutely! True story, I have a similar squeeze bottle full of water nearby. That one is unlabeled. I grabbed it once and was wondering why my acetone wasn't working.
Better that way than the other way around!
