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.
Without a doubt, the best "have to have it carved now" tool I have ever used. This knife made short work of the hundreds and hundreds of cuts I had to make for the Supergirl MagicWheelchair build I did for San Diego Comic Con. I would never have gotten the project done in time without this tool.
The temperature control dial and variety of blades make this by far my favorite tool in my arsenal.
We have two of these kits to handle the work load. Hot Wire Foam Factory sells quality equipment and we consider these the industry standard. This kit handles every aspect of our cutting/sculpting needs. Plus, if you ever need to contact HWFF, they are extremely helpful and very knowledgeable.
