7120 Rosco FlexCoat – Flexible Protective Coating for Scenic Foams & Surfaces

Rosco FlexCoat is a non-toxic, water-based coating designed to protect foam scenery, props, and scenic surfaces with a durable yet flexible finish. Unlike rigid coatings, FlexCoat dries to a tough but slightly elastic surface that resists cracking and chipping, making it ideal for scenic elements that are handled, transported, or flexed repeatedly.

Formulated for use on EPS and XPS foams (commonly known as styrofoam), FlexCoat also bonds to a wide range of materials, including muslin, canvas, wood, fiberglass, and other porous scenic surfaces. It creates a smooth, non-yellowing base layer that accepts paints, textures, and topcoats, ensuring your scenic elements stay both durable and visually striking.
