Flexible foam-

Like the name implies, it is a flexible product, and is the choice when a prop must interact with an actor, such as slap stick style humor, a beating from a weapon, or something along those lines.  It is very close in properties to a firm sofa cushion. Larger flexible foam props almost always have a rigid armature of some type to maintain their shape, without it they would wilt or deform.   There are a few types of this material, self skinning and standard.  Self skinning foams will produce their own skin to capture all the surface detail, the other type must have a skin first, then be filled, when this foam is used normally a latex skin is applied, but for those with latex allergies we can substitute that for another material.  Please ask about it, there may be a cost difference.

Rigid foam-

A stiff inflexible foam, similar to Great Stuff spray insulation that is available at home improvement stores.  However unlike the canned insulation foam, it is a 2 part mixture and captures details well.  It tends to be on the fragile side, and is very lightweight, so it's best used for background props, or for those on a very tight budget.  It is the cheapest of the materials we use.  

For those who wish to cut costs, but require a strong prop, we can produce a piece with a urethane skin that is filled with rigid foam.  Please ask for more information and pricing.

Urethane resin-

The strongest of the materials we use for producing most of our props.  Urethane resin is a 2 part liquid that forms a rigid plastic when it cures.  It is quite strong, impact resistant in most cases, and is also the heaviest material we have, so you have an added quality of realism.  We have two types that we use.  The first can be foamed to form a rigid foam, and the second is a clear variety that can be tinted to almost any color which remains completely solid.  Various additives can be added as well, some increase the weight, some can achieve a metal like finish.  Ask about them if you're interested, otherwise they come as solid resin tinted black or white.

Fiberglass-

We only use in the helmets and custom props normally.  A glass fiber cloth is embedded in polyester resin to add strength and stiffness.  It is somewhat labor intensive, and due to this not used in our standard props.
