oh man Friday the 13th hit me. today i was loading up my car to take my stuff over to my place (i had been working on this at my parent's house because they have utility sink and other stuff that makes it more easy for me to clean up brushes and ****). So i stuck my background all my other supplies in my car, then about an hour or so later I had decided i was going to do another coat of Shields All so i went out to get the background out of the car. What i saw gave me a bad feeling in my stomach.

For some reason the areas where the Great Stuff was used had started to crack. Its almost as if the foam had decided to expand a little bit even though i did the foaming almost 2 weeks ago. I really i'm baffled on what happened as the cracking only happened in areas where the GS is. All the other styrofoam where there is no GS is perfectly fine. Now its about 65 degrees outside and probably a little bit warmer than that in my car where i had the background, but i find it hard to believe that a tiny bit of heat caused the GS to expand more (2 weeks after i applied), but who knows. So of the cracks are pretty extreme, and i'm very pissed off right now. So my ideas were either throw it away and forget about it or figure out some kind of solution. Well i really don't want to start over on this so I decided i'm going to try and see what i can do. I got out some black acrylic and my paintbrush and started trying to fill the cracks with paint so that the color of the foam isn't showing. It kind of messed up my paint job on the rocks but it doesn't look too bad. I hope the cracks don't get worse or i'll have to just toss this background which would really make me mad.

Here's some pictures of the cracks before i tried to fix them with paint














I'm really bummed right now in fear that this background is done for, hopefully i can fix it. Man i'm pissed right now
