I'm sure there are also mods that add non-disguise versions of the regular troop armors. I believe this was the last build I made out of foam that comprised of only hot glue as an adhesive just because of how easy contact cement makes projects. If you wanna wear ncr armor without the disguise system being used, wear some deasert ranger armor or riot gear from dlc's. Contact cement is great for gluing seam lines on, but I use super glue for details a lot. Just make sure when using contact cement, you are in a well ventilated area or outside. I started using contact cement last year and it is absolutely fantastic, it's so much cleaner and quicker to use because you just slather it on the two surfaces you want to glue together, let it dry and simply press them together. As for contact cement I absolutely love it! I used to use hot glue as adhesive for all of my foam props, but hot glue is very bulky and can lead to weird lumps on your seam lines. I've learned over the years that if you don't seal your props and they are malleable the paint can start to crack over time especially if you use spray paint.

To seal my props I usually do 2-3 coats of Elmer's glue or I heat seal it.

I heard if you put Plasti Dip in a can of warm water it won't do that, but I haven't tried it after my bad experiences. I used it on my foam Loki helmet and it made it all lumpy and wouldn't sand down. Maybe its the MN weather but Plasti Dip always seems to bubble up giving my props a bumpy texture. I have tried using Plasti dip twice and both times I've hated it.
