for leaving a smooth surface that will be better for making a plaster cast from it. Previously I used Crisco, which worked fairly well, but would like something like decoupage paste (which I haven't ever used) that will make a smooth purpose and not damage the styrene foam.

Could an oil based clay work?
The oil based clay would release from the plaster. The oil based clay could be removed from the beadboard with difficulty.
What are your plans for the foam after the mold is made?
Oil based clay would be like using the beadboard as an armature. Details or surface treatments could be added

Dude you tried to answer my question and here is what a ripstick is.
It is a skateboard/surboard/snowbaord.
It is designed with a metal seck and surface, two hard rubber wheels, that roll 360.
You move your feet from side to side to go. It acellarates about 15 mph.
That is what it is.
And I have no idea what a formed turned and carved in laminated foam bedboard is. It must not have any importance at all.

Styrene foam only affected by heat and solvents so as long as paste water based no problemo a starch product may work as well.

You could use water based latex paint. That's what I use for my scenery all the time. It seals the surface.
