Craft Foam Blocks - 6 Pack of EPS Polystyrene Blocks for Crafting

Craft Foam is a versatile blank canvas for any arts and crafts project. All water-based paints, glues, and coatings can be used on Polystyrene to achieve desired effects. However, it is important to note that petroleum-based paints and glues will melt Polystyrene, so they should be avoided.

For those looking to cut EPS expanded Polystyrene foam, it is recommended to use a hot wire tool for precise shaping and clean edges. These cutting tools are easily found on Amazon under the search term "Hot Wire Cutter." Cut pieces can be stacked to create intricate 3-dimensional designs and Diorama sets, allowing for endless possibilities with a bit of paint and creativity.

Polystyrene foam is both rigid and lightweight, making it easy to work with and transport. It is commonly used in gaming, Diorama sets, small-scale sets for action figures, model railroading, architectural models, and as cost-effective 3-dimensional signage. Additionally, Polystyrene provides excellent padding for shipping and transport protection, as well as insulation with outstanding thermal properties for building processes.

Polystyrene foam has a 1-pound density, making it strong enough to support significant weight, perfect for various uses such as hydroponics, floating party decorations, and filling gaps for added insulation. It is also commonly used for display projects like centerpieces, retail displays, entomology collections, and more due to its clean white appearance and ease of use.

Customers often ask about Polystyrene's weight-bearing capabilities, and it is important to note that while visible dents may appear, it can withstand the weight of a human without breaking. The foam's durability can be enhanced with various foam coatings that create a hardened shell to withstand repeated use over many years.

Manufactured in the USA, Polystyrene foam is excellent for crafting as it can be easily cut, sanded, coated, and painted. Its uses are limited only by imagination, with popular applications including protection for packaging, aquaponics/hydroponics rafts, wargaming scenery bases, model railroad terrain building, school craft projects, and insulation for smaller areas.

In conclusion, Polystyrene foam, often mistakenly referred to as Styrofoam, has many amazing characteristics and is 100% recyclable and landfill safe. This White Expanded Polystyrene Foam set includes 6 pieces measuring 4" x 12" each and 2 inches thick, perfect for a wide range of crafting and display projects.
