Lol, i love that "subtle" message on your shirt.
LMAO, haven't seen it until I read your comment ^^
Oh lol I didn't even notice 😂
Haven't noticed until this XD
Thats the first thing i noticed lol
Same lol
I heard if you go into your bathroom at 3 am, tap the mirror and say "whats the best glue for foam" 3 times, Kamui will pop out of your sink drain to haunt you forever
Luckily that doesn't happen too often. It's pretty draining for my free time...
I heard that curse can only be lifted if you buy her books.
Spooooky
If I do this and she doesn’t show up I’m going to be disappointed lol
And when she goes back in to the drain, she says but one thing before leaving...
"Buy my books."
For folks in the States, I'd suggest DAP Weldwood contact cement, as it is much, much cheaper than Barge, like less than half the price. It takes longer to set (like 15 minutes) but that can sometimes be a good thing when working with broad surfaces. Otherwise, it's just as powerful and effective.
slappymeats weldwood is also easy to find at my local hardware stores too. Barge is definitely rarer
slappymeats 15 minutes seems a bit long. My experience was no more than 10 minutes for the watery stuff & 5 minutes for the Gel.
It says 15 minutes on the bottle but I never have to wait that long. Easy to find and cheap, totally agree with this
I tried DAP Weldwood and it works great. I tried transferring half a bottle into a squeeze bottle but I guess it wasn't a HDPE bottle with a good seal and it evaporated 80% after two days :(
Michael Acosta i transferred the watery stuff into a $2 ketchup bottle with a lid (no idea what material it is beyond thick, squeeze bottle) and as long as i keep the cap on, it's fine. I left the cap off for 2 days once & it just thickened up a little, which was fine by me.
Heads up to those of you looking to use barge glue/cement, it’s pretty wiffy, so make sure to use it in a well ventilated area, especially if you plan to use a lot of it at once. Additionally it works really well to glue softer leather such as pig and deer hide. Barge is pretty easy to find if you have a leather workers’ shop near you such as Tandy leather which appears to be a store across the US and not a local chain like I thought. It is illegal to ship large quantities of it to residential areas without certain paperwork so that’s something to be aware of too.
I feel the need to buy one of your books for some odd reason
What's the glue you use for your cosplays?
*hits the 'ban permanently' button*
D:
I was looking for a comment like this 😂
It's like ligma
I have a bump on my head where I fell out of my chair laughing. XD
Hello there! Love your sidekick. Oh that's not your sidekick it's your dog. He's just the cutest thing ever! Your videos are amazing and they explain the topic perfectly. I am looking forward to seeing more. Thank you. Give the Corgis a hug for me.
I love this video! I've never work with foam before but now I feel a little more confident ! however with the barge glue please make sure you guys use it in a well-ventilated area! And if you are not in a ventilated area at least put on a face mask! I use it on my leather products and it is toxic! So put on a face mask or do it in a room that has a lot of airflow and have the doors open and things like that! The fumes will make you feel really dizzy. Also with the large cans there's an applicator inside but a Q-tip will work just as well!
for some reason i have the idea to buy your books, dunno why :D
For cosplayer's in the UK the glue is often termed Contact Adhesive. One I've found is the 'Evo Stik, Impact Adhesive'
Mostly it's the same stuff shoe makers use to attach the soles. It comes under many different names.
Thank you! I was looking at this stuff today, and wondered if it was similar stuff! 😁👍👍
@@DarlingbroughModelRailway There's another UK one that isn't as off the shelf called Alpha Thixofix.
@@DarknessRifter Awesome! Thanks!
You are a blessing to the cosplay community! Thank you so very much for all the detailed information you share with us!
If anyone ever needs a good example of “Subliminal Messaging” (as well as how to glue foam) be sure to show them this video ;)
This information sticks nicely . I was able to adhere to the information
i just started doing props about a week ago and i want to thank you and your channel. youve taught me so much and honestly probably saved me so much money and trial and error. thank you.
I probably need to say thank you. Not for the glue, I will probably ask about this again later. LOL.
No, I'm thanking you for being an inspiration to me. I caught your video on what you did to lose weight to look so awesome in your cosplay outfits. I don't do cosplay but I do love the crafts so watching your videos is really helpful. I think I remember seeing a few of your older videos back about 8 years ago when you were cutting out foam in your living room. Anyway, your weight loss video really did inspire me to lose weight. I figure is you could do it, I could.
I'm going to be 65 years old in less than 30 days and I'd been trying but never succeeding in losing weight. Mainly because I wasn't careful about what I ate. I started walking 10 miles plus a day. Some exercise and seriously cut back on sugar and drinking lots of water. In 7 months I lost 65 pounds and am now down from a 252 pound start to a comfortable 185 pounds.
I'm still working on the lose skin but it's really tightening up. I know that's probable way TMI. But I just wanted to thank you for that video and thank you for all your videos. I find you very entertaining, helpful and you don't put me to sleep.
We love your personality! Even our kids enjoy watching your videos because of how animated you are. Thank you for all of the tips.
Thank you so much! You make starting my first foam armor costume so much less intimidating! I'm definitely going to check out your horn patterns too. Perfect for what I need!
I'm an American & i love the Weldwood No Drip gel. The regular Weldwood is really watery & drippy & seems to take at least 2 coats & takes longer to dry. The gel only takes 5 minutes & is far cheaper than Barge. I also use super glue for small pieces of 2mm foam.
Good tip, thanks!
While my kids and I adore your build videos I really appreciate these small videos detailing specific aspects of crafting. They really help with our own projects.
More build videos are coming soon again. :)
I'll be damned! I've been using contact cement for a long time, and applying it wayyyy too thick. I had no idea. Glad I watched this video.
00:39 I wonder if the glue is the same as castol or rajawali glue.
I'm making my first weapon out of EVA, and this definitely helped. Thank you so much!
I'm 13 and making my first cosplay this summer. I'm going to be a sith lord. Youre vids have helped so much !!!!!
Love the editing xD this series is sooo helpful! Would you consider doing a tutorial for the different head parts of a dremel? I am a bit overwhelmed with all the pieces and don't know which to use for what :S
Sunny Red The 2 i use the most for foam are the sanding drum and the stone grinding bits in various shapes.
ditto here. Mostly the sanding tips!
Thanks for the answers😍
You are spot on with your glues! In my industry, we use Ortec or Col de cologne on EVA (but those are just specific contact cements). Depending on durometer differences and applications, we may or may not use primers as well.
So many years of trying to make lightweight and comfy horns and here you've had the answer all along LOL
Amazing how the horn gets the curve 🤯
I was looking for a tutorial for your horns pattern, but I'm a novice so I decided to watch this video to understand more about foam.
You can't imagine my surprise🤣
You are a lifesaver! Or at least you saved hours of my life waiting for my over glued pieces to dry.
I love your humor! Totally made me subscribe after I saw you make the cosplay suit for a model.
When you patted your belly I cracked up so hard.
Just want to say, I love your energy, skills, sense of humor and how you share your advice and work with so many. You're awesome! :)
I love your armor patterns! You make my life so much easier, THANK YOU!!!
SO!!!!!!!!!!!! I've tried hot glue, while it works incredibly well, if you want a soft edge that won't hurt people... like on a sword... you do NOT want to use it!
Now I've tried rubber cement, and I officially love you! Your technique makes AMAZING bonds. They just don't let go.
Weldwood is readily available where I am, and using your technique it's only a 1-2 minute dry time for permanent bonds. A little longer when gluing to pvc, but that's because you end up with a little thicker layer on the pvc. (and honestly I've bonded in as little as about 30 seconds after gluing the second side and have had no trouble.
Lastly, I made a pour spout for my can of cement, out of the side of a mix and measure plastic bucket (1 quart) It just snaps in the lip of the can, and with a little shaping at the end there is NO mess at all. Then you just stand the can back up and scrape the rest back in with a piece of foam. The rest can be rubbed off when dry or washed off immediately.
I should make a vid!
Yes make a video! :D
@@KamuiCosplay Ok, I finally got things set up, and recorded a rough video. I do mean rough, but it's up.
ua-cam.com/video/MHxt_ZOcGUQ/v-deo.html
Yay! Demon corgi! Thanks for this tutorial! ❤
I genuinely like to watch your videos even if I don't need it that certain video at the time
(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
I love how your tank top says "Buy my Books"😆 it's very You, dear.
I stumbled on this looking up info for another popular brand of glue. Great post. :)
And to anyone using this stuff, pls follow the safety guidelines for these glues. I'm an aviation structural mech. I've dealt w/ some nasty glues(and a ton of other bad chemicals). Even w/ full safety gear( respirator, tyvek suit...) we still get exposure to the chemicals we work w/. Toluene is a common one in rubber cement type glues. It will mess you up later on in life. Try to avoid anything w/ MEK in it as well.
I wish I had found your video two weeks ago. My pirate ship wouldn't have fallen apart. Well, I'm saving you for my next project. I'm subscribing to your channel and I'll be lurking around to learn every bit I can. Thank you for this.
10 seconds in and i already feel like i need to buy your books...
i don't know why!! lol
ps. cutest demon dog ever!!
Your an angel! My hero! and I'm using all your amazon links! Thank you for sharing your incredible work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thx again. Now I can go about armor and weapon crafting with much more ease.
THANK YOU FOR THINKING OF US IN THE STATES! We love you too!
Der Hund ist soooooo süß!! Ich habe euren (deinen) kanal erst vor ein paar Wochen entdeckt. aber ich finde super das ihr zeigt das Cosplay nicht unbedingt super schwer sein muss :) Vlt trau ich mich auch mal an eins ^^
Das schaffst du! :)
I use Pattex for years and it is a good glue and you can buy it everywhere.
Thanks for sharing this because I'm doing videos myself for the making of cosplays and may you and your followers could like them as well 💫
How do you get the glue from can to the bottle? A funnel maybe? Though it might be too viscous for that. P.S Sorry for another glue question....
Of I don’t mind get burn, super/CA glue work pretty good too, not much more messy than contact cement. And it is quick, I mean flash quick
This answered every question I had about glue, thanks!
Diese Teleshopping Musik im Hintergrund 🤣🤣 awesome
Cutest little demon dog I've ever seen
OMG... IT WAS ME.... LOL. I also asked about the glue on one of the Facebook posts...😂... thank you... this video was perfect.... you and your hubby are awesome... the videos are, not only entertaining, but very, very helpful and informative. Love you! Best wishes from Canada... you two are awesome! 🙂
That was so helpful. I just ordered that contact cement from that belgian shop and the hdpe bottles xD
Lovely dress, such a subtle message. :P and Corgi's with horns?! YES~!
Guten tag!! I built a pair Wolfman feet using Barge and Eva foam. I was stationed in Bitburg Germany.
Here it is! Thanks.
Toll wie kleine Tipps helfen 👍
I think your shirt.... is trying to tell me something.......................................
Thank-you so much for the help! It's my first time working with eva foam, wish me luck! :3 also, super cute precious doggo!!!! :3 ❤
You’ve been uploading more regular lately and it’s great!
Glad you like it!
Thank you for this...you're the best 🥇
This is my first time seeing you, and this video is SO helpful! I thought Kamui Cosplay sounded familiar to me, and it's because you're going to be a guest at YetiCon! So I'm really excited to meet you now, after just finding this video. Cheers!
That's weird, I already bought your books but... I kinda want to buy them again now. Huh.
Also, nice horns :D
Hey, I’ve bought your books and love them. Thanks for the hard work and love for details you put in everything. ❤️
You should do a video on how to thin contact cement and different methods or chemicals to use. When it sits in the bottle too long it thickens and I hate throwing it away. I've looked for videos in how to do it but couldn't find anything reliable. Keep up the good work, really enjoy the videos, they're there best 😁
Danke fürs video! Sowas die ganze Zeit schon mal gesucht :)
But I have but one question. What is the best glue?
*hits dislike*
KamuiCosplay that’s not funny
Thanks for this topic!! I've been looking for a good video on this topic!!
That top is amazing
Well Contact cement is probably out of my reach considering the price, but you did show me how to actually and properly make use of those contact glue. I used to believe that a thicker coat would mean a better grip but it seems I was wrong. Thank you !
If you are in the states, you can get Weldwood contact cement in a 3 ounce bottle for a couple bucks. www.amazon.com/107-3-Ounce-Weldwood-Contact-Cement/dp/B000M2SKNU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1531429307&sr=8-5&keywords=contact+cement It's cheaper if your buy it at homedepot or lowes. You can also get it in larger cans, pint and quart size. It's not quite as good as Barge, but it's cheaper and is perfectly suitable for cosplay. Unless you are doing leather clothing that you intend to wear during your day to day, then I'd recommend barge. It is better on leather.
Saphirone a little goes a long way & the small bottle of Weldwood is $5. I'm just getting to the bottom of my large can after 5 months of frequent use. It might seem expensive but considering you won't need to buy more for half a year, it's not really so bad.
I live in europa, so I do not have access to barge, but I do use the other glue she recommand, which is called Neoprene in my country, I was wondering if it was better than contact cement when it comes to resistance.
Wow... That dress you are wearing... LOVE it...
Love the shirt/dress
Now...what's that brown stuff you use to make armor?
Heh, just kidding :)
!!!
Your videos are a lot of fun to watch. great job!
"Teufelshunde"! Danke schoen!
4:18: I may have used the wrong stuff, but I regreted using kitchen sealant on foam when too late I realised the obvious - glue doesn't stick to it afterwards!
This is life changing
thanks for telling me about pattex, its also shopped in poland as well in a price of 3 euros, i didnt want to shop from belgum and pay +10 euros for simple gule
For the bottle that you use, do you fill up extra and store it or just when you make a cosplay?
Great video. Could you please explain how you get the glue into the squeeze bottle? And how do you get this kind of glue off paint brushes? 🍒
thank you! i love your work so much!
Love this!!! Supply videos are excellent
Die Korgies sind das Beste überhaupt ^^
Thank You! Just what I needed to know!
Immortal Joe mask !!! Mad Max!!!!!
I LOVE your shirt.
Sometimes I feel like you're about to lose it Svetlana
Loose what? ( ￣▽￣)/
...your sanity? /jk
0:37 I love this part
Määäääh
I already had that glue from your closplay shopping guide, but I didn't have any squeeze bottles.
RIP my brush.
Jusssssssst - classic the way she says just!
See, I never understood how contact cement worked, like if both sides are dry, how does it stick?
I learned not to question it. It's just magic.
Cute dog
First of all those horns are awesome ,and thank you very much for the video, I still have not decided which adhesive would be best for my cosplay, because in my country we have only pattex. But i guess the contact cement is going to be a better choice ,in the end .
Pattex works too. It just takes a long time to dry before you can stick your parts together.
This is a very helpful video, thanks very much. My only question... Aren't you concerned about long-term exposure to the fumes? Isn't it a good idea to use a respirator with an appropriate VOC filter when using contact cement?
Yes!!
It’s very important to have a well ventilated space when using contact cement, it’s SUPER toxic!
A sewing notcher will cut those indents far more quickly. They only cost a couple of EUR/GBP/USD.
Thankkkk youuuuu!!! You are amazing!!!!
How do you clean the bottle afterwards? Or do you just throw it away?
Direkt mal das Shirt 😂 ich feier dich so 💜
I had a plastic squeeze bottle lying around that I tried to use like this but it seems like the contact cement is melting the plastic?? I don't know what mine is made of, but you don't have that issue with ones with HDPE?
Nope mine doesn't melt at all. Please be careful and only use HDPE bottles.
May I know how do you pour your contact cement into the bottle? Do you just directly pour into it or is there some other ways? And how long is the shelf life?
With a spoon. ;) In the little bottle it lasts around 1-2 months.
Ah I see! Thank you very much!!
Love the dress and yes I do Buy your books and recommend them often.
Awww thank you!
I love your videos and energy and I'm just starting to get into some deeper cosplay now! I do have one question, how did you fill your squeeze bottles so effectively XD Thank you
