Thread: For those who use GREAT STUFF foam...

Tweet

Walmart just majorly slashed the price of GREAT STUFF foam that is used in so many different prop building applications. The wide gap I use went from $5 an can to 3.65! For those of us who sculpt and mold with the stuff this is BIG! They dropped big time on all the other types too! Just a heads up for those interested. Cait

Very cool. Thanks for the head ups

sweet! I want to start using it, but as expenses have been an issue, I haven't as of yet. now I'm definatly getting some pay day.

I guess price, even at walmart, is dictated by what area of the country you live in. The wide gap is $3.49, here, and the other $2.77 and Its been that price for at least 6 months maybe longer.

Oh good to know, thanks for the heads up.

I've been thinking about trying it as a glue to hold the foam pieces together and it would naturally fill in the gaps then....Just use a puddy knife to keep it cleaned up while it oozes out of the cracks to keep the sanding minimal...Then again, it may just eat the styrofoam too, not sure but worth a test run any way...Thanks for the heads up!....ZR

I love using great stuff to make realistic intestines and gore in general. You can paint it any color and use it to add texture and general "yuckyness" to any prop. Thanks for the heads up.

You LUCKY dog! Here in Mass. it's been as high as $6 bucks a can!!! And I checked all the wally Worlds and hardware homestores like LOwes, Home depot and such and all were varying degrees of high. You are soooooo lucky. Now I'm wondering what others are paying around the country. Cait
