[Groop] OT: Costume Creation

[Janet Harriett]

Adding my two kopins to what Tone and Kaytee have said about the  
expanding foam...

I don't have any experience building costumes with this substance;  
however, I have weatherproofed my house with it.  You will want to  
note that this product comes in at least two formulations, one for  
narrow cracks and one for larger gaps.  The difference is in how much  
it expands.  The narrow gap formulation will expand a little bit, and  
will less destructive force.  The larger-gap formula will remind you  
of episode 43 of Garfield & Friends when the yogurt takes over the  
whole house, giving you more bang for your foam buck.  They have the  
consistency of the bastard offspring of marshmallow fluff and  
superglue, so be careful what you touch with it.  Disposable latex  
gloves are essential.  And, speaking from experience, avoid getting  
any of it in your hair.
