Answer :

answer:The expanding foam is used as a casting medium and it’s not the sort of casting you start out with. Obviously a project like this takes lots of time and experience and I’m sure even with it you have to expect that somethings won’t work right the first time. If it’s something you’re interested in pursuing in the long term you’ll want to get into sculpting and moldmaking. Both are a craft and aside from just diving in (which is good) you should also consider checking out relevant craft books and classes in your area to help learn techniques. Theater tech and prop-making techniques would also be a good place to look.
