XPS Bricks 10 x 10 x 5mm Weathered

The bricks are 10mm x 10mm x 5mm (approx.)

The bricks have been put through our weathering process for a realistic textured look.

To glue the bricks, hot glue can be used, but it can leave ‘glue strings’ and also, if it gets too hot it can melt the bricks themselves.

I’d recommend using a tacky glue or even just PVA, the tacky glue will aid in keeping the bricks together and set faster, but normal PVA will do the trick, it may just take a little longer.

To seal the bricks, you can either go straight to a brush-on primer or an airbrush primer, but be careful with any aerosols. They may have a detrimental effect on the XPS. If you want to use an aerosol, ensure the bricks are coated in either a watered down PVA or Mod Podge (this also gives the bricks more durability). Always test on a small hidden section first.

Note: Colour of foam may vary dependent on available supplies. All quantities approximate.
