>use the foam, plaster and resin crafting method to make my porps.
>most of the time it goes fine, but i have to be really careful because if the plaster is thin or cracked the resin can seep under and melt the foam thus ruining the prop
>making a shield for my next cosplay, everything is going fine
>apply the resin and let it dry overnight, it seems to be fine last time i saw it before i go to bed
>get up this morning to check
>oh no!!
>the resin did seep under and melted some of the foam, shield ruined and i have to start over

It's not so bad, i can get it done pretty easily and quickly, but it was just going so well.
Also considering other methods to ensure i get it right on the first try, but I'm gonna give the plaster and resin method one more try before I move on.
