    Description

    (x3) 12"x 12"x 4"
    Polystyrene Blocks (1lb Density)
    Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam or
    Styrofoam™ is great for making light weight crafts and more. Unlike packing foam, our EPS foam has a density of 1 lb density and can be cut/ sanded to get the shape you want. We work with EPS foam on a regular basis and create sculptures, signage, & architectural installments like crown molding, props, and more. If you have a specific size that you would like cut, let us know the length x height x width and we will be happy give you a quote.
    Here are a few
    Tricks
    of the
    Trade
    :
    Tools great for shaping polystyrene foam
    80 Grit Sandpaper
    Wire Brush
    Serrated Knife
    Hot Wire
    Heat Gun (gives the surface a cool rock texture)
    Hot Knife
    Rasp
    Router
    A few products that work great for coating polystyrene and can be found in most building supply stores are:
    Stucco
    Plaster of Paris
    Latex Rubber
    Drywall Mud
    Polyurethane Coating (we will be offering this product soon)
    Paper Mache
    Elmer's Glue
    Mod Podge
    If you want a more "rock" like surface, a 50/50 (give or take) blend of a latex primer and plaster joint compound rolled on will get a real hard coating.
    Refrain from using aerosol or anything that contains high levels of VOC directly on polystyrene. Chemicals can break down/ dissolve polystyrene. Kilz® Max Water-Based Primer contains low VOC and makes a great primer when prepping your polystyrene surface for a coating. It will help strengthen the surface and will allow your hardcoating to adhere better.
