Halloween Costume Foam

Build the coolest costume on the block! Our foam is great for constructing costumes—it is both lightweight and easy to work with. We sell costume foam by the yard (1 yard = 91 cm) in 1/2" and 1" (1.3 and 2.5 cm) thick rolls of low-density foam that are approximately 56" (142 cm) wide. Both thicknesses come in an off-white color.

We strongly recommend buying a can of Pro-Tack foam adhesive (below) to help construct your costume. This spray glue will save time and make your job much easier. (Larger costumes that require more adhesion may require more than one can.)

Dacron wrap
Save $$$ by doing it yourself.
Dacron wrapping is standard on any of our cushions and very much recommended. Dacron rounds out edges and fills in the fabric cover for a more aesthetic look. It also helps foam to slide into a fabric cover. Standard cushions are wrapped using a "book wrap" technique. It is called this because the dacron covers the foam in the same way a dust jacket covers a hardbound book. Only three sides of a cushion are covered (see picture). You will need a can of glue to attach the dacron. We sell dacron wrap by the whole yard (1 yard = 91.44 cm), in 30" (76 cm) or 60" (152 cm) widths. Contact us for volume discounts.

Regular Dacron (1 1/4 oz. weight, low-melt).

1/2 ounce Dacron: excellent for cushions 2" (5 cm) or thinner, wall upholstery, and more. (Whole yards only, please.)

Scrap foam & Sample foam

Foam sampler bag: Get a mixture of foam pieces in a bag, in all different sizes and shapes. We'll send whatever remnants we have on hand. The foam comes in various qualities, but there's no specifying what you'll receive. It's a surprise grab bag! (1 pound = 0.45 kg)

Scrap foam in bulk: Order in bulk (100 pounds = 45 kg) and save big.

Pro-Tack Foam Adhesive
Magic foam adhesive! This spray glue can repair rips in foam, and attach surfaces together. It will permanently bond foam to fabric, dacron, paper, and wood surfaces. Dries in seconds. (Note: Pro-Tack should not be used on polystyrene.)

PRO-TACK wide web spray adhesive is one of the highest performance aerosol adhesives available. For both temporary and permanent bonding, this high solids product is ideal for uneven or porous surfaces and weight materials. Waterproof, flexible, transparent and non-staining, use PRO-TACK for your toughest adhesive applications with materials such as leather, cardboard, most plastics, and cloth. Formulated with the environment in mind, PRO-TACK contains NO CHLORINATED SOLVENTS OR OZONE DEPLETERS. Cleans easily with Mineral Spirits. Not intended for use on vinyl.

Shredded Foam
Perfect for refilling beanbag chairs, since shredded foam won't break down like the beanbag pellets do. It should last over 10 years and is fully recycled from new scraps. It takes about 10 pounds to completely fill an average beanbag. You can buy shredded foam by the pound (1 pound = 0.45 kg), in a 20-pound bag (9 kg), or in a 100-pound set (45 kg). The 100-pound option will be shipped in approximately four (4) 25-pound bags.

Shredded Memory Foam
We also offer a mix of 3-lb, 4-lb, and 5-lb density shredded soft memory foam. This is perfect for filling custom bed pillows, teddy bears, or other interesting inventions that require stuffing. Its elastic quality will make your creation eccentric. Order extra for safe measure.

Vacuum Kit
Send us the dimensions of the item(s) you wish to vacuum pack, and we'll send you the kit to do it. Each vacuum kit contains one roll of tape, one clear shrink plastic, and one roll of black plastic. (We have various sizes of plastics. It's important to enter the largest dimensions to wrap so that we send you the correct size.)

Aquaseal® Urethane Repair Adhesive & Sealant
The industry standard for maximum strength repairs to wet suits, dry suits, and all watersports products. Flexible urethane formula waterproofs, seals, and protects against abrasion. Hundreds of watersports and household uses. For fast cure, use with Cotol-240™ Cure Accelerator.

DIRECTIONS FOR NEOPRENE REPAIR: Clean damaged area with Cotol-240™ Cure Accelerator/Precleaner or solvent (paint thinner, nail polish remover or similar). Trim loose threads. Non-fabric surfaces should be roughened with sandpaper, and then cleaned. Apply Aquaseal® to surfaces directly from tube or with knife or flat stick. Keep repair level overnight. Avoid contact with other surfaces. Most repairs reach full strength overnight (10-14 hours). Allow longer for thickest repairs. For fastest cure (2 hours or less), mix in Cotol-240™.
 
HOLES AND TEARS: Create backing with removable tape. Fill void and 1/4" beyond edge with Aquaseal®. Remove tape after full cure.
 
SEAMS: Apply 1/16" thick bead overlapping seams' edges by at least 1/4". Apply with slight pressure to saturate fabric surfaces.
 
HIGH WEAR AREAS: Apply thin coat with knife for flexible abrasion resistance.
 
WARNING: FULLY CURED AQUASEAL® IS SLIPPERY WHEN WET. For added traction on footwear, sprinkle sand on uncured Aquaseal® half an hour after applying.
 
CLEAN UP: To remove Aquaseal® from hands, buff with cloth soaked in paint thinner, nail polish remover, or 99% isopropyl alcohol.
 
STORAGE: Advance contents to tube neck. Wipe clean and cap. Keep in cool, dry place; for extended life, place in freezer. To thaw or for easier-flowing contents, soak tube in warm water for 15 minutes.

Cotol-240™ Cleaner and Cure Accelerator
Cotol-240™ Cleaner and Cure Accelerator is a urethane cure accelerator and pre-cleaner to be used in conjunction with Aquaseal®. The solvent cleans and prepares the surface, readying it for Aquaseal®, speeding the tack time to 15 minutes and the full cure time to less than two hours. Cotol-240™ is also ideal for removing tar, sap, glue, and other resins from various surfaces including glass, plastic, and metal. Available in a 1/2 oz. or 4 oz. jar.

1. Apply a small amount to the damaged area (spot test for colorfastness).
