If you can find a way to contact the manufacturer maybe they can tell you for sure.

I looked it up online and although they don’t say what it is made from, I think it is a polyurethane foam which does not cut well with heat, and gives off toxic fumes when cut with a hot wire. Q: Will your 4″ hot knife cut 3mm thick Darice Foamies craft foam? If the 4″ knife won’t work, what would you suggest?Ī: I don’t think that this type of foam can be cut with hot wire tools. You will find that the white beaded EPS foam when coated with Foam Coat is more economical, nicer looking, lighter, and easier to work with. You can put a thin layer of Foam Coat on to cover up the bubble texture if that is an issue. Usually people who are doing fine scale modeling use the extruded blueboard and pinkboard because it doesn’t have the bubbles. It has a memory, so if it gets squished a little it regains its shape. This is much easier to cut than blueboard and pinkboard. It often has a thin, clear plastic moisture barrier that peels right off. You should be able to find the white beaded EPS insulation foam though. If I peel off the foil, will the hot tools work on that type of foam?Ī: The polyurethane foam is very toxic and won’t cut well with heat. Q: I am having trouble finding the pink or blue foam in my area, but I did find polyurethane foam sheets with a thin layer of foil on both sides. As always, you will need to check with the manufacturer to see if there are any health or safety hazards when cutting their material with hot wire tools. The Sculpting Tool with the wire just past 5″ long cuts the best. A razor blade is faster for straight cuts, but the hot wire tools come in handy for curves. Q: Can your tools can be used with PVC-based corrugated sheet like Coroplast?Ī: We have done some cutting of Coroplast with our Hot Wire tools and it cuts a bit slow and leaves a ridge that can be broken off. We recommend that the polyurethane foams only be cut with a blade or saw. It needs a ton of heat, gives off toxic fumes, and leaves a lot of melted plastic wherever it is cut. Q: Can your tools be used to cut polyurethane foam? (sold as upholstery foam and “poly foam”)Ī: Polyurethane foam should not be cut with hot wire tools. These are exactly the same as the pistol cases that are used for traveling and approved for airline transport.

We also offer sturdy plastic cases in our Accessories section. It is a tough, flexible thermoplastic resin which, being inert and chemically stable, meets all preservation standards.Ĭheck out this post we have in our Gallery section about making foam inserts for instrument cases. Our Armorfoam is a polyethylene foam and is easy to handle, cut, shape and form, and is widely used in protective packing of fine art, artifacts and sensitive instruments, for both transportation and storage. Many of our customers use hot wire tools to cut Ethafoam and other polyethylene foams, but I always suggest that they check with the manufacturer of the foam to make sure it is safe to cut it with hot wire tools. The manufacturer of Zotefoams USA told us that their foams are safe when cut with a hot wire. As these foams are denser, make sure that you don’t put too much pressure on the blade or wire of your tool, as this could cause it to bend and eventually break. Q: Can your tools be used to cut polyethylene foam? (sold as camera and gun case foam, “Plastazote” or “Ethafoam”)Ī: Hot wire tools will cut polyethylene foam, but will give a slower cut as they are generally more dense than EPS foam. Also, check out this post we have in our Gallery section about making foam inserts for instrument cases. It is a tough, flexible thermoplastic resin which, being inert and chemically stable, meets all preservation standards. Polyethylene foam is a great alternative that is easy to handle, cut, shape and form, and is widely used in protective packing of fine art, artifacts and sensitive instruments, for both transportation and storage. Not only is 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. Q: Can your tools be used to cut polyurethane foam? (sold as camera and gun case foam)Ī: We have been getting a ton of requests for a ‘museum quality’ foam for camera cases and gun cases that can be cut with hot wire tools, so we now have a solution.
