High Density or Low Density EVA Foam?
Understanding the difference between High Density and Low Density EVA foam is crucial for your projects.
CF65 EVA Foam: More flexible and agile, perfect for creating round shapes like helmets and skulls.
CF100 EVA Foam: Sturdier, providing smoother results after dremeling.
CF200 EVA Foam: Extra sturdy for specific applications requiring more rigidity than CF100.
How to Use EVA Foam in Cosplay and Costume Building
8 mm EVA Foam is your go-to for big, bulky armor builds, props, or shields. Its thickness offers inherent sturdiness, ideal for parts needing extra strength or size.
Key Uses:
- Cutting: Easily cut with a utility knife; with practice, you can achieve beveled edges.
- Shaping: Use a heat gun to manipulate into various shapes.
- Gluing: Contact glue or hot glue works perfectly for bonding pieces.
- Sanding and Embossing: A Dremel tool allows you to sand and create patterns.
- Advanced Embossing: For intricate designs like leaf patterns or dinosaur skin, a wood burning tool is excellent.
- Layering: Contact glue multiple layers to build thicker pieces.

Painting EVA Foam
Once your EVA Foam cosplay armor or prop is built, sealing and priming are essential before painting. This can be done using the heat sealing technique or our all-in-one primers like Flexbond, Hexflex Primer, or SEAL Prime. Heat sealing first is always an option, and any of our primers can be used afterward. After priming, you can paint your EVA Foam creation with our specialized HexFlex paints.
About EVA Foam
EVA Foam stands for Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate, also known as expanded rubber or foam rubber. While it's widely used for padding in sports equipment like ski boots, hockey pads, and boxing gloves, EVA foam is a favorite in the creative community for crafting incredible armors and props. Its versatility and shock-absorbing properties make it an essential material for cosplay and costume building.
