Exterior Foam Coat #026

This is a great product for increasing the streangth of the surface of your prodcts. I was amazed by how tough it dried. There are vidieos on how to create texture on the outer surfaces with this product. The one draw back that I have found. Is clearly stated in their own product descrption. "This product goes on rough and is not sandable. Finish as the surface is setting up." When I left some high ridges or spikes where the adhesion properties made it create a high draw point when lifting the application tool. It was very difficult to remove when dried. Best to make the finish as needed while applying product. It does make the surface tough which is the high light to this product.

I build Vivarium Hardscapes and use this product to provide a rock like feel and appearance, it also provides much needed strength.

OMG. No more plaster use for my projects!! This exterior foam coat is awesome. I tested it by applying it to my styrofoam then blasted it with a high pressure water hose (apx 20 feet from target) then for kicks I took a sand blaster (apx 30 feet from target) to it so I could see what weather would do. Not 1 dent, scrape, or puncture anywhere. This stuff dries really fast and is really hard as rock when dry. If you want a product that will give you a stable long lasting finished project this is what you need. And NO I do not work for this company. But I will be buying stock if it is available!

I love this stuff! I'm currently working on a very large sculptural installation called Writing in Stone that is traveling through the state of Wisconsin with some truly amazing history. Since it has to travel--it couldn't be as heavy as real stone! The look and feel of stone coat has been so convincing and wonderful to work with.....galleries have had to accept that people can't stop touching it. A okay with me! You guys rock.....seriously--always helpful answering questions and the product is not only terrific--it's fun to work with. Also--again--no FUMES! but do wear a mask for mixing the powder. I am also very happy to know that this is a family-produced US product.

FYI,
Exterior Foamcoat is very good stuff. It was easy to apply on the styrofoam and it didn't dry quick until I applied it on the sandfall. The hybrid or quick settings cement gave me so much problem in the past.
They dried out too quick and thin layers were not strong and chipped off.
Foamcoat is at least 7 times better than the cement based on my experience.
