Flexible Paint for Craft / EVA Foam Tests – Part 2

We put together a 2nd test for flexible paints.

Here is a link to our first test Flexible Paint for Craft / EVA Foam Tests, it describes the tests and why I did them.

beforeDescription of each square

9. PVA/Latex mix (4 layers) with Vinyl and Fabric spray paint.

10. PVA/Latex mix (4 layers) with acrylic paint.

11. PVA/Latex/Acrylic mix (5 layers).

12. Unused

13. Adhesion Promoter (3 layers), PVA/Latex mix (4 layers), Krylon spray paint (3 layers)

14. Adhesion Promoter (3 layers), PVA/Latex/Acrylic mix (5 layers).

15. Adhesion Promoter (3 layers), PVA/Latex mix (4 layers) then Vinyl and Fabric spray paint.

16. Unused.

 

 

9. PVA/Latex mix (4 layers) with Vinyl and Fabric spray paint.

When removing the masking tape I had a bit of paint peel and the pinch test showed cracking.  Crumple test left marks also.

10. PVA/Latex mix (4 layers) with acrylic paint.

10

Slight peeling when the masking tape was removed, but NO cracks and of course the crumple test left marks (that is pretty much a given no matter what you do)

11. PVA/Latex/Acrylic mix (5 layers).

11

After really pinching excessively I did get some cracking, but we had to really keep going to get that to happen.  A little peeling when masking tape removal and same results on crumple tests.

13. Adhesion Promoter (3 layers), PVA/Latex mix (4 layers), Krylon spray paint (3 layers)

13

Lots of cracking, enough said.

14. Adhesion Promoter (3 layers), PVA/Latex/Acrylic mix (5 layers).

14

No cracking, crumple test was the same, but no peeling.

15. Adhesion Promoter (3 layers), PVA/Latex mix (4 layers) then Vinyl and Fabric spray paint.

15

Cracking, big chunks peeled with masking tape removal and same results on the crumple test.

Conclusion, 10, 11 & 14 are the best with 14 really winning because of the peeling on masking tape removal, now if we can dial in the latex mix like I did the first time around we might have found another go-to mix!
