Hello Haunters,
Had a question regarding expanding foam and Monster Mud that I thought someone might be able to help me with.
I have never used Monster Mud, but I have used expanding foam. Last year I built my mutant spider bodies out of expanding foam, but I ran into 2 problems.
1. When left to dry, the foam expanded and then split. I assume this was due to the outer portion of the foam curing while the inner foam continued to expand, splitting the outer shell. I handled this by wrapping the body in black duct tape at the time.
2. The second problem was after I had left the spiders hung upper during the day, I noticed the inner foam had shrunk from the surrounding duct tape (probably due to the Miami heat [not the basketball team]).
So, I was wondering if anyone else has had trouble with shrinkage of expanding foam, as well as if Monster Mud would help in stopping the shrinkage.
Does Monster Mud have any adverse effects on expanding foam? Dissolving it or anything?
I am looking at using the foam to beef up my tombstones and then layering with MM for a seamless look.
Thanks in advance
