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.
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.
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).
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)
Lots of cracking, enough said.
14. Adhesion Promoter (3 layers), PVA/Latex/Acrylic mix (5 layers).
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.
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!
