We have used this product before. That is really cool looking. I like the foam idea around the bottom. Had not thought about that.

Another masterpiece Aden, I love watching all your videos!!!

[@thedarkmoonman]

you have such a good job.

[@nico1001s]

you guys are good !!

[@awnibilal5538]

This is mind blowing. Thanks again for sharing.
I got wondering while watching whether you use epoxy resin or polyester resin for your fiberglassing? Or does it vary depending on the job?

[@AdenHynesSculptureStudios]

We use two types of polyeser resin. General purpose which is less expensive but flammable. And Class O which is fire retardant, and more suitable for things going indoors.

these videos are so helpful! where do you find the big blocks of styrofoam? im a glass artist and need rigid foam

[@miimage_art]

What is the foam adhesive that holds the major pieces together? Great work!

[@AdenHynesSculptureStudios]

Hi Phillip, the foam is called No Nonsense expanding foam. You get it in cans that you apply with a squirt gun. (tricky to use and keep nice and clean, needs practice not to get it everywhere, absolute nightmare on clothes and hands)

[@1dancingkoi]

love your work! What is sticky foil? Where would I find some?
Thank you for the great videos! !!!!!

[@AdenHynesSculptureStudios]

Hi Jill, the foil is called Tikki Tape and we buy it here in the UK. If you're from the UK, have a little Google for it, but I'm not sure what an alternative is abroad. Likewise if you can't get hold of something like this you can use a few layers of a pva glue as a protection from the resin on the polystyrene. Keep watching, more to come! I hope you've subscribed young lady :D

Thank you for the quick reply. Do you use the tikki tape only for underlayment of resin or other materials as well? and what thickness do you use? 40 microns? 2 mil?
I have found myself making props for local schools and programs California . All help is appreciated. Thanks again! looking forward to the new videos! :)

[@AdenHynesSculptureStudios]

Hi Bill, I certainly have. It was made for chessington world of adventures, as per their design. Its a rather old video that we're going to take down and remake tbh, but have a look anyway: Snake Themed Poles by Sculpture Studios

[@AdenHynesSculptureStudios]

Thanks Bill, you won't believe how many CV's we get a week, we're beating people off with a stick :D and we try our best!

[@xXskatetruck28Xx]

where do you purchase the foam of this size?

[@AdenHynesSculptureStudios]

***** Where we live in the UK, theres a company close by in Essex that produces these blocks, 8ft x 4ft x 2ft large

[@xXskatetruck28Xx]

do they ship material out or no?

[@AdenHynesSculptureStudios]

I don't think so. I don't think it would be cost effective to ship items that large out for the price that they are

[@xXskatetruck28Xx]

Aden Hynes Sculpture Studios just so I can get an idea on how much I should pay somewhere else how much does one block cost you? (if you dont mind telling me)

[@albansmith-adams3309]

Aden Hynes Sculpture Studios I live quite near by could you tell me what the company is called, thanks

[@udaychavda3640]

I work with yours
