We've used Hot Wire Foam Factory Bounce on a few of our builds now and the results have been fantastic. We specialize in large scale cosplay builds and the biggest problem we encounter is things getting bumped into and damaged. Mixing Bounce with a little bit of the All Purpose Foam Coat creates a great durable shell on our Styrofoam and XPS props while still keeping them lightweight enough to be held by arm extensions or carried all day and tough enough to survive repeated convention use. It is easy to use and takes very well to painting and weathering effects. We highly recommend Bounce to anyone wanting to build props from XPS or Styrofoam.
I've been using this for a couple weeks now, almost exclusively on foam. It holds very well and seems pretty sturdy. It dries within about a minute but takes longer to fully cure.
It does make a lot of "glue wisps" while working, but these are not nearly as annoying as those from hot glue. If it gets on my fingers it is easy to clean off as well.
Just wanted to let you know, I'm loving my new Industrial knife. So I'm promoting it all over the place on the Halloween groups when the topic comes up :-). It's awesome!

Great product! Loved being able to quickly catch on to how to best use this tool for sculpting. Changing wires is easy. I guess now I'll be springing for the one that has the controllable thermostat and heavier wire. I've not had this much fun in ages!
