    I think any spray enamel that react/eat styrofoam. I would guess that lacquer would be at least as corrosive to the foam, perhaps moreso.

    I've been seeing some spray water-clean-up laytex paint in some stores. I think this stuff would be good to seal the styrofoam, but won't react / eat it. The cans that I've seen are a bit expensive (per oz.) compared to a pint or quart of latex house paint, so I guess it depends on how much you think you can put to good use.

    Up top with another great thread from Hermans Secret... check out his website for more great stuff!!! I used this thread to work my first ever props with sytrofoam,, i used basic white plain ol styrfoam for these...

    Wired with C7 Flicker bulbs,, the cemetery sign goes on the front entrance,, the exit goes where the ToT's turn around after collecting some candy to instruct them where to go (last year i had a few tromp right through the graveyard scene and stepped on some other props!)

    Awesome write-up Herman, the finished product is gorgeous! Everyone's creativity and resourcefulness on this forum never ceases to amaze me. Nice signs by the way, reaper and, as the owner/restorer of a '66 pick-up I appreciate the pic of the Hot Rod magazine in your post!
