Halloween Bloodbath Fountain

Step 5 Foaming

The next step is foaming the fountain to give it some texture, and a nice rocky look. I used 3 cans of great stuff to do my fountain. I originally wanted to foam the entire thing, but ran out of supplies.. I kind of like it the way it is though now.

Try not to go to fast or else you'll just get air coming out, and blowing the foam all over. It's easier to work with if you start at a base, and build on it. If you need to do layers you can easily come back and add more later after it's dried a little. This will make a solid foundation for you to build on. If the wet foam gets too heavy it will collapse and may mess up your project.

Be warned this stuff is very sticky, and hard to get off things! Including skin! Last time I played with this for my vivarium project it had to wear off my fingers naturally..

Gloves are useful, but I got by without them this time.. mainly because that's what I didn't buy at the store this time around. Foam around the objects, and leave as much or as little exposed as you want since we'll be painting this stuff anyway in a bit.

It dries pretty fast, and fully 'cures' in 24 hours I believe.
