Hi.

I was thinking of buying some synthetic coral, for use as Tyranid terrain. However, it would need to be painted, and some of it is rubbery. If I try to paint onto a particularly bendy surface the paint may crack, so how can I stiffen/harden the rubber so that it can be painted on, without making it too brittle and fragile?
