the hunt for rubber sheet
« on: July 12, 2011, 10:16:38 pm »
HELP ME FIND A RUBBER SHEET!

this is what u can do with rubber sheet



see his armor? its nothing BUT rubber sheets *minus the epic glowing lights of awesomeness*
im sure its a whole lot less expensive than molds and resins- thus why i am in an epic search of this

--kudos to you kuya amado...*bows down*




they're very durable- works best as armor-- easy to cut, can be heated and bent,
basically they're big slabs or rubber-- kinda like a plain material of what tires are made of.
if any1 can find a way or knows where to buy this- i will personally help u with armor making~!

I think this should be what you need. I bought some rubber from there a few years back. Prompt and reliable service.

Oh. Yeah, you need a credit card or debit card of some kind to order from their website.

What about the kiddy foam, they sell that at JoAnn's. I've painted it before and it takes up fine. Other than it being filmsy in some points from gravity, it takes shapes pretty well. I know people who've done heat-melting to get shapes together.

the problem of kiddy rubber sheets is that they dont come in BIG SLABS of kiddy rubber sheet XD
what i need most is size and thickness (the thicker the rubber sheet is, the firmer it gets X3)

They do offer a big roll of white foam at joanns that's the same stuff. For my store, it was on the opposite side of the aisle (still within the same aisle though) by the sculpey and face masks kind of. It came in a sheet of like 36"x60" or something like that. It was big enough that I was able to make 3 giant cuts for a large Hylian shield I made.
