Spraying plastic hard coat onto foam props

lady bug coated

EPS foam is a great material.  Light weight, not too expensive & relatively safe to work with.  Its only flaw is it’s fragility.  We spray a strong 2 part plastic coating on our props.  Then we finish the look with automotive paints.  Using materials that are industry proven means our sculptures last indoors and outside in the elements.  The prop I’m coating in the photo was designed for children to climb on.

High Times Denver Cannibus Cup pot props

MAD HATTER WOOD CARVING process

As medical & recreational marijuana are legalized in various states the need for advertising increases.

Eyecandyprops made this giant Mad Hatter log carving from a beetle kill pine.  They exhibited at the

Cannibus Cup in Denver and wanted a more natural style display.  So instead of hard coated eps foam,

we made this real wood sculpture.  250 lbs!

21-warheads4

Eyecandyprops.com can make unique, effective point of sale displays.  Impact Confections had us replicate one of their featured candy logos in a large 3d 4 ft wide x 6 inch deep colorful cast sculpture.  Each one hand painted and assembled.  These will be used in Six Flags candy stores around the country.  The realistic sculpted candies have a sugar grain texture and look like the real candy, just larger.  These 3 dimensional, eye catching props will be the focal point of the retail space.  On time, on budget and effective!

bear-with-booth5

The Denver Visitors Bureau commissioned Eyecandy Sculptures to build  this iconic Lawrence Argent

public sculpture replica. It is made of  Eps foam  with a polyurethane hard coat.  At 7ft tall its dwarfed by the

original sculpture in Denver.  Condit made the trade show booth that this bear was part of.  The foam

prop was fun to build and Condit was fun to work with as usual.
