[/quote] Well... that's a good rule of thumb, but acrylic sprays would probably work fine... just that most sprays are NOT acrylic. Also, hazards of foam+heat are immense--- limit your use (thickness and area of coverage) to minimize your risks... need I say: No Smoking! ? And, as for plaster scenery, (I'm just getting to that point on my layout, so I'm all ears, here) ... consider paper towels (or similar paper) plus diluted white glue (elmer's equivalent). I'm about to start that method to see how it works - (my 4 yr old brought home a craft project that lasted through a bit of rough handling with No structural support!) And if you're still in the wood adhesive stage, try Titebond WOOD MOLDING glue... (i got it at Home Depot, small packages only - 8 oz, I think) because it Sets FAST and lets you move on to the next joint almost as fast as you can prepare it. Good luck, and Hope you enjoy it !
