Hokay, so! I bought foam, sculpting tools, paint (black figure two tone black and blue looks ok) and fiberglass making materials! I believe I have everything I need, now comes question one, I am going to make the foam molds for the front of the civic but how much setup time does it take before i can take them out of they're home without the shape changing? I saw that curing time was 8hrs but do I have to leave my car sitting still with foam all over the front for 8hrs or is it like 1-2?
