Shape Retention EVA Cosplay Foam 1mm (1mm-10mm) 14x39 inch White or Black High Density EVA Foam Sheets. Premium 85 kg/m3 Heat Shape Material for DIY Convention or Halloween Costumes by The Foamory

Thanks I bought this for comped tickets to Blizzcon 2023. Of course I had to do a cosplay. I got a $8 heat gun here on Amazon. It’s worked beautifully for my foam armor set. I definitely recommend spending what needs spent to get The Foamory brand. It’s used a great deal less uv resin than others. It will save you tons of money in the long run. It molds like a dream. I made a dress form of my body using movers plastic wrap and duct tape, stuffed with old grocery bags. Then I attached it to the mannequin dress form I also own. I put the supportive structural undergarments on it and viola!! Pinned the 1mm foam into the desired shape. With the heat gun I made divets, lines, and a molded fit. I think next time I’ll be using a thicker foam as 1mm is difficult to get more. East to cut. Even easier to cure and paint. The shape held up after removing the pins and coating with uv gel throughout the curing and finishing process for foam armor!! I’ll post photos after I’ve attended Blizzcon 2023!!

I'm not a cosplayer, so I can't claim to be an EVA foam connoisseur or anything like that. I bought the 2mm and 4mm thick sheets to use for insoles and midsoles respectively on the moccasin and iron age style "primitive footwear" I like to make for myself. The sheets were pretty uniform, there were not any obvious defects or tears anywhere, using scissors they cut cleanly without deformation, sanded smoothly, and stood up to being punched and stitched onto the lowers. A combination of Barge contact cement and E6000 glue around the perimeter worked to anchor the 2mm rubber outsoles over the top. The combination makes for a lightweight, very flexible, zero rise, low stack height (just under 1cm) shoe, with the right bit of squish to take the edge off of standing on hard surfaces all day. These sheets will also be used in other pairs of shoes and boots and I will buy them again once my current supply runs out.

Foam has been good. Making very minimal motorcycle (chopper) seats for my own builds. I get a 10mm thick firm base layer, then a 3/8 to 1/2 inch softer but still firm top layer. I have a super minimal budget, and this works out very well for me. I cover it myself and it works great. My covering won't win any shows, but it's very functional and easy to cut, modify or change if you want to change your design. I ride, not show bikes. If I want to change something about my seat after sitting on it for a while, it's easy. Just peel off and start over, or modify existing set up. Once I get it perfect I'll have it professionally covered. It's excellent for R&D.

The EVA foam was easy to work with to make a portion of Halo costume.

Cuts like butter, i used it for completely unrelated things. Used it as pinning board for insects. Works great for that. I got the thickest one, true to size. Great amount for your buck.

I had an unusual use for this. I've got some foot pain due to rubbing against my shoe so I created sort of a shield that I can wear inside my sock to protect the rub against a sensitive nerve. It work surprisingly well and I appreciate that it comes in different sizes. I ended up with the 1mm which was perfect for my needs. The material seems very durable and is easily malleable (for the 1mm). I can cut it and manipulate it into whatever shape I want.

Nice pads they smell nice and nice color great value the right Thickness and Softness

Very high quality and great for beginners! I found it easy to use and the instructions that came with it were very helpful in creating my first ever costume mask.
