NO AIR SHIPMENT OF FOAM! Foam is shipped in a separate box from other items you order because this is the maximum box size that will ship in this weight category without high oversize box penalty charges. Shipping foam is expensive because postage is calculated based on volume, not just weight. Typically, you can find sheets of foam in the insulation section of your local hardware store. If you need to laminate sheets together, we recommend using our Foam Fusion glue. If there is a silver Mylar coating it will have to be removed before gluing. If you need help sourcing large quantities of foam in your area, please give us a call at (866) 735-9255. |
What is EPS?
Expanded Polystyrene is the most common foam with tiny, white bubbles that you can find at most hardware or craft stores.What is XPS?
Extruded Polystyrene is usually a denser foam that is very smooth. This includes DOW Styrofoam, Owens Corning Pinkboard (Foamular), and DOW Blueboard.What is PE?
PE foam is Polyethylene foam. It can be found in expanded or extruded forms. It does not off-gas like polyurethane, so it will not damage expensive instruments that are stored for long periods of time.What is EVA?
Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate is a flexible foam used in things like exercise mats and crafting supplies. These usually require more heat than other types for cutting.Many foams will look and feel like EVA, but are made of other ingredients that are very toxic when cut with heat.What is PU?
Not only is PU/polyurethane foam difficult to work with as it cannot be easily cut with hot wire tools, but it also off-gasses and degrades and damages the instruments it is supposed to protect. It gives off toxic fumes when cut with hot wire tools.What types of foam will your tools cut?
Our tools will cut EPS (expanded polystyrene), XPS (extruded polystyrene), Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and EVA Foam.
You will find more details on the types of foam that can be cut with our hot wire tools from our FAQs Page.
Are the fumes from cutting foam toxic?
Ventilation is always strongly suggested. The white vapor that you may encounter while cutting EPS or XPS foam at a high heat is primarily CO2 and water vapor, which are far less harmful than other common art products like aerosols and paint thinners.
Below is a link to a study about how to handle vapors from cutting polystyrene foam.
Hot-Wire Foam Cutting Exposure Assessment During
Theatrical Staging (.pdf)
Polyurethane (PU) foam does release toxic fumes when cut. We do not recommend not cutting this foam with a hot wire.
Is using foam environmentally friendly?
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam is recyclable and is a byproduct of petroleum refinement. It takes less energy to make than paper and causes less pollution in the process.
