With several to choose from, uses include making theatrical props (swords, knives, hammers, etc.), industrial gaskets, custom padding and cushioning, and more. \u003cstrong\u003eSO-Strong™\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eUVO™\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eIGNITE™\u003c\/strong\u003e colorants can be added for color effects. Part A and B liquids are combined, mixed and poured into a mold or other form (apply release agent if necessary). Mixture will rise and cure quickly to a solid, flexible foam.
