Sorry if this has been posted 1000 times, I did research, but didn't see the answer to my questions.
Also, probably some noob questions, so be warned.
I have made boffer weapons, but I want to make something at least a little bit cooler. Also, The boffer i had was really old and worn down and ended up actually borrowing the npc weapons for the event.
The problem I'm encountering is that I can't find the proper latex/sprays. I bought plasti-dip in the past, but it seemed VERY stiff, to the point that I wouldn't want to be hit with it, let alone passing the guidelines. (NOTE: I only found the dip, never found the spray.)
I will be making quite a few weapons, for myself, my fiance, and my friend. If I can, I'd like to buy in bulk, but everywhere i search it always says that the latex is sold in small bottles. Also, I much prefer to go to a store than order online, but am not completely opposed to it. (I live in the Upland/Claremont areas, but will be traveling to the SF Alliance.)
I think that latex weapons often look the best, but I have only been to a handful of games. I think that spray on is probably more simple than brush, is that correct?
I already have the foam camping pad for the foam.
I've also heard that contact cement is the best. Do you agree?
As far as alternatives to latex and plasti-dip (both of which i am ok with using, when i know how to properly use them of course) would Mod-Podge work at all? or another alternative that i can buy at michaels/hobby lobby?
Thank you all for answering my noob questions. I look forward to playing!
