I used to use that stuff on foam r/c airplane wings for disposable
combat aircraft. It really worked great. Solvent based paints would
eat the foam, while the spray latex would add a light and smooth
sealing to the wing.

These combat planes were foam wings, a PVC downspout fuselage, and two
coroplast or balsa tail fins, stuffed with an engine, fuel tank and
r/c gear. We would attach a 10' streamer to a 20' leader and try to
cut the other guy's streamer with our propeller, often resulting in a
mid air collision. <G> It was great fun with 5 or 6 planes in the
air at once!
