Dissolved Styrofoam or Plastic Coating of Products

Dissolved Styrofoam or Plastic Coating of Products | Disolve Styrofoam for plastic coating of your proyects

Hello.
Previously, almost every homemade product I had to cover with several coats of varnish. This is especially necessary for products that are installed outdoors. But varnishes do not always perform their protective functions. For example, sometimes there are varnishes that do not dry completely and can still stick for a very long time. Sometimes it happens that the individual parts of the product are glued together, and then come off from each other with paint. It also happens that the product is glued to the surface on which it stands.

To avoid the problems described above, I cover my products with dissolved styrofoam. Thanks to the thin layer of plastic that remains after applying the solution, my products get excellent protection from rain, wind and other vagaries of nature.

In this video you will see how to dissolve the styrofoam for use as a protective layer for products.

Dissolved styrofoam is very firmly adhered to the surface of the product and is the best substitute for varnish.

Thank you all for watching and for your comments.

This is brilliant and not only that, watching that styrofoam dissolve is very satisfying!

Lol, did this 45 years ago, the concrete on the garage floor used to powder and my Dad and i mixed up a whole lot of Styrofoam and lacquer thinners, ended up with about 2 gallons of the mix, still on the floor today and still holding up.

Acetone is the solvent to use. When it evaporates it leaves no residue.
I have used it and styrofoam for years. If you try to use the resulting gloop in a mould, then when it dries you will see huge amounts of small air bubbles still trapped inside - this is the milky look when it's a dense globby mess. In the video the mixture is quite runny. You can make it as solid as you like - just use less acetone. You need a vacuum pump if you want to degass it and use it as a solid moulding material.
One last thing - I have found it breaks down in direct sunlight and becomes quite brittle, but as a thin coat, as used here, its probably ok.

I worked in Africa 20 odd years ago at the mouth of the Congo river. The locals mixed styrofoam with petrol to fill any cracks or splits in their wooden boats. I have wondered if it would be a substitute for glass fibre epoxy ?

[Buzzhumma]

I think you can add a bit of brake fluid to act as a plastizer so it is less brittle

Ah watching the styrofoam dissolve is so satisfying this is genius can't wait to try it thanks

[nuffsenuff]

Thank you!
The jar is marked 'Solvent'. Would nail polish remover work?

[gohawks]

Ongosh, this is amazing! Idk how I missed this, but thank you! I have been wanting to make crafts for outside (like a basket for dog toys), but I didn't know how to deal with the weather....

[travissmith]

Great idea... Thanks for the health warnings... Thanks for sharing...

Meu irmão artesão usou essa mistura para colar tudo ! Por isso mais dissolvido vira tipo verniz mais espesso vira cola o que quiser ! .

[Absolem-jn]

Excellent thank you! What else can be covered with this composition?

[Cookiejug]

Where do you get Cellulose Thinner Solvent in the USA?

[dr.ofdubiouswisdom]

Does the unused product store well - or do you, small batch - use it up every time?

المادة السائلة هل هي بنزين السيارات ( نستخدم بنزين السيارات + الفلين لعمل لاصق قوي جداً)

[carlosteixeira]

Muito bom.
Desconhecia essa fórmula.
Muitas compras online vem com isopor que sempre é descartado.
Agora podemos reciclar com vantagens.

[JuanImperial-ei]

Can this prevent peeling?I struggle a lot in painte peeling after you put something with tapes, thank you for answering

[andreaferrari]

Hola este disolvente se pude hacer con thinner



e isopor solo estos dos productos ? Gracias

[lucioburza]

Thank you for the idea. I believe that gasoline or acetone could be used as solvent too.

[pintaparty]

Interesting! When dissolving the styrofoam, does it create harmful fumes? Thank you!
