Why that works
Shaving foam is mostly air bubbles held in a thin skin of soap. Mix in glue and the glue coats every bubble; when it dries, the bubbles stay put, so the paint keeps its puff.
Lambton County twist
The Blue Water Bridge is really two bridges: the older one from 1938 has triangles, the newer one from 1997 has an arch. Paint both.
