I need something for cosmetic reasons, something that will stick and not chip, something that can be easily cleaned Start with latex. Anything else may have some solvents that will attack the foam. Once you have a solid latex barrier, it is possible to put other coatings on top of it. |

Water soluble acrylics only. You can buy these 60 ml/2 fl oz bottles at the Dollar Store. The art supplies and craft stores also carry these acrylics but they cost a lot more there. For large areas you may have to resort to latex on account of cost. |
