Bax,
When you came over to biff's place,
you saw the two 8' KUs in his patio
room;Those are made of Polystyrene
(the white beads) instead of floral foam
(rigid "sponge" foam) that can be hot wired/cut. Polystrene must be cut by hand
saws or electric.Big mess is standard.
"Clean room" with plastic tarps taped together.
All of my originals are first carved out of
Pink insulation sheet foam (8'x2'x2") found at home depot.These are laminated together using foam in a can
(Like a cream eclaire),
until you have the block-like dimentions
you want .
If you are using a Floral type foam that is white or green suitable for hot wire,I'd
use a serrated steak knife.The smoke from heat wires/foam is Carcinogenic
to breathe. arttransplant.com/pizzuti.htm
