What coating do you use?

The coating is made by several materials. The picture above shows the glueing of a kind of very resistent paper ("papel carniça" in Brazil). This process is called in portuguese "empastelação". After that, there are many ways to finish the piece. The most used is the fiberglass coating. And then, the surface is prepared for the painting ("pintura de arte").
I'm only interested in the styrofoam work.
I would like to contact people around the world to help me with my personal project called The Resurrection ( www.flickr.com/photos/poggi00/sets/7215761519 0011944/ )
Any ideas are welcome. :-)
