woodieb8 Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 hi mico ballons will weaken a body, when you pour and the foam rises blok your pour whole and vent. that will make the foam to collapse the bubbles and create a very hard outer shell.as for paints that will not affect a foam body.we use a 15lb ridid and never have your issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
