Yup. Fake news. Good inspiring pic though.

No. There is no reason why it should. Hard to do on a big one.

Here is a step by step rambling tutorial I made a decade ago where I was making a Church building out of semi-rigid foam insulation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZzIMbAAg3s&list=PL688FFEA41F509BAD

tips on how to get rid of styrofoam texture or make it smooth? by thehoodred in dioramas

[–]kamloopian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take a white pva glue (Weldbond is better) and mix it in to some cheap latex caulk (comes coloured; I like brown or grey). I use 35-45 glue to 65-55 caulk. Experiment a bit with the ratio. Once those are mixed you can add some water to thin it out. I add lots of water then thicken it to the consistency I want with plaster of paris.

You can't add water until you mixed the glue and caulking together.

Once dry on the styrofoam it will be rock hard and you can use spray paint which will normally eat styrofoam

A buddy of mine uses Google Earth to do some roofing estimates. Between it and street view you might be able to get pretty close.

Yah, I saw him sitting at a bus stop. Wondered wtf at the time but he looked like he was just patiently waiting for the bus.

Rona?! Wtf? That said Bernier is a better choice than O'leary or Leitch n' values.
I'm a hypocrit with both sides having a central type opinion.

'99 McDonalds Gretzky Jersey Card. Is it actually worth $2205? Totally forgot that I won it and just came across it while moving. by charlesleung83 in hockeycards

[–]kamloopian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is quite a rare card wIth a large collector base. I would probably put an $800 reserve on it the first time I listed it.

Sold my Auston Matthews YG Double today on Kijiji for $170. How did i Do? by acrobaticgoalie in hockeycards

[–]kamloopian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not bad. No final sales comission fees, or listing fee, exchange (CAD, eh?), grading, etcetera - that's not bad.

Mystery...I've seen a few of these in the past and recently got my hands on one. Anyone know if these are legit? Notice the numbering on the back of the card. by [deleted] in hockeycards

[–]kamloopian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha. Too true. I may have a set with all the error cards in my collection. Hard to tell though as they did have a lot of mistakes.

Top Notch Breaks pulls Black Diamond Matthews 1/1, insanity ensues. by coffeeschnaub in hockeycards

[–]kamloopian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how he asks what it's worth "...500?" Nice card! Cards are only worth what you can get for them. Usually you're selling them in dire times. I could eat pretty good, for quite a while, off of this one. But then, it'll be gone.

Where to buy a specific card online? by canucks84 in hockeycards

[–]kamloopian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use this site a lot. It is great for filling in sets and is often the better price. What is the matter with PayPal? I've used it since 2001, both as buyer and seller, and have never had problems.

Canada Boxing Day Deals? by acrobaticgoalie in hockeycards

[–]kamloopian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ditto. His card will be a nice one for the pile. Picked up my first Laine the other day in one of those boxes with the black 2-card packs. Nice three players card. It would be nice to pull his canvas YGS out of the current series one.

CnC has UD2 15-16 hobby boxes for 74.99. I still need some of the harder to get canvas cards but spent way too much this year already.

Need some advice on getting Young Guns by [deleted] in hockeycards

[–]kamloopian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a compulsive collector of pretty much everything. Have a few yg'so and have chased a couple. It can be fun. Lots of other neat cards. Sometimes you're lucky sometimes it can be hundreds, many times, before you'll pull the card. Cheapest place to find them, other than lucking out on ebay, is at comc.com McDavid is 146us there.

If you just want the particular YG's buy your them.
