Where Coating Meets Craftsmanship
At EPH Creative, we harness the power of a dual-component spray system that blends liquid polyurea plastic with a catalyst in a hot pressurized setup. This versatile technique, skillfully applied by our expert team, results in a rapid chemical reaction that creates a durable and flexible skin over various base materials. Whether it’s for polystyrene sculptures or woodwork, our mastery of this process ensures an unmatched level of finish.
This approach serves as an excellent, cost-effective alternative to traditional GRP surface finishing, without compromising on quality. We’ve seamlessly incorporated it into numerous Event Prop Hire projects, highlighting its effectiveness.
