and Foam Safe

Spray Paint.

(See below for

Foam Safety Info)

Many brands of Spray Paint are not "Foam Safe" and may melt the foam. ALWAYS test

the brand you intend to use FIRST before spraying the entire Foam part. We recommend

testing your paint on the base of the Large Foam Capsule before starting assembly (it

will get covered up by the Orange Shoulder and Cap Ring in STEP 13.) Most brands of

"Acrylic" or water based paint will not harm the Foam.

Only use water based fillers such as Elmer’s Carpenters Wood Filler

on your Foam Parts. Elmer’s Carpenters Wood Filler is a thick paste,

so we recommend thinning it with about 50% water to 50% paste.

Test on flat end of cone .
