What can i coat foam clay with

So hi hope you are having a great day if not i wish you one.

I have recently started using these colorful foam clays to make figurines but unfortunately they're quite fragile so i had to remake parts .

I was wondering if i could coat them in something to increase their durability .

I was thinking resin or nail top coat maybe but I'd like some confirmed advice from some who's done it .

Thank you have a great day

I recently realized i am heds a while ago and i have a chronic foot pain are they related maybe ?

So hi

Trigger warnings for abuse and sensitive topics

I started looking into conditions online after my health started chronically failling everywhere and heard of heds an dismissed it thinking i only have 90 degree fingers on the beighton scale so that musn't be it . But it really seems to be and I've been having mysterious chronic pain in my foot that has now reached my leg .

But I've heard people with heds say that the beighton scale is not that accurate and hypermobility can exist beyond that

Nothings wrong with my bloodwork so as you know the usual dismissal as I'm not even 20 yet so how could i have it .

I just had lower vitamin d and slightly high uric acid and they blamed it on that and made me take vitamin d pills and avoid foods with higher uric acid content .

But it's obviously not that so my leg only gets worser and worser .

I have gotten xrays and they're normal .i did finally convince my orthopedic to get me an mri scan and it revealed that there's fluid in my third and fourth joint of foot. My rehumatologist prescribed more bloodwork and it was all negative .It's not any arthritis or organ issue basically and paracetmol and some form of steroid hasn't worked either .

The reason it started was because i had dengue fever and took like a month off and my mother is abusive so she was pissed i wasn't attending my achedemics and hit me about it and stomped on my foot badly .

There is no evidence of physical injury on my foot like mircofractures but who knows those radiologists must've missed it .

I have also been taken to a psychiatrist and have gotten the excuse of psychosomatic pain and that it's all in my head I'm being a weird high schooler at that point and faking pain which literally gets me nothing but weird stares hurtful comments and condescending and mean comments not to mention exclusion .

but my theory is that it's my shin that got hurt and the pain is manifesting in the middle of my foot instead .

It gets worse with action basically and i have been disabled basically and it keeps getting worse . It swells post activity .it looks like quite reddish and bruisey afterwards and i can't move much obviously and it bends at a triangluar way sometimes .

Idk what's going on I'm tierd of this and I've come here to ask does anybody know whats going on ?

My leg looks visibly bent in a way yet no doc considers it . I don't think it's misaligned either cause nothing was made out in the mri and it was just fluid between joints .

Thank you for reading this wrong .
