Foam

THE MORE EXPENSIVE THE SHAVING CREAM (I USUALLY SHOP AT MACY’S FOR WHICHEVER S/C IS ON SALE) THE BETTER AND EASIER THE SHAVE WILL BE. WHY? THE MORE EXPENSIVE BRANDS CONTAIN MORE POTENT LUBRICATION SO THAT A RAZOR GLIDES VS. DRAGS OVER THE SKIN. IT ALSO PREVENTS RAZOR BURN 100% OF THE TIME. THE PRICE RANGE I STICK W/ IS BTWEEN 10-15 DOLLARS FOR 1 CONTAINER.
GOOD LUCK.

Use an electric knief…the kind you use to carve a turkey. Its what is used by people who have to cut foam rubber for furnature

i prefer used, do to high cost. it dose not have to be fanncy.
table should be able to move back and forth no programing.
table needs to be at least 60" long, longer better.

I have seen people cut foam with "hotwire" which is a bare wire connected to two handle with an on-off trigger on one end and plug into a low voltage transformer. It will require 2 people to operate this. The 2 will hold the handle tight, so that the wire is straight, then the guy with trigger will pull and hold it down, the wire will be then red firely hot, the 2 will then move the "hotwire" up and down back and forth a couple of times then exit the foam. The foam will have a nice and clean cut. This can handle virtually no limited to the thickness or the width or lenght of the foam.

I need some foam or rubber sheet about 1/2" thick to put in the drawers of my tool box. I want to be able to cut around my tools and have them sit in the cut-outs in the foam.
Can anyone help?????? Been trying to find some for ages!!!
Cheers!

Go to Wal- Mart and get one or two of their sleeping bag pads. They cost about $5 each and are 1/2 thick. They cut easily, and its light blue color helps you see what you are after. It lasts well, also. I used some back in 2000 and its still going strong.

shapes like triangle and circles . they must be able to hold body weight somwhere in san diego ca would be great

Are you talking about foam like seat cushions are made of? They sell that at fabric stores, such as Joanne’s and Hancock Fabrics.

I get in my production process rests of polyetylene foam, about 10 mm thick, dimensions from 50X50 mm up to 1×1 m.
the idea is to find a way to cut it and to glue the stuff together in an insulating layer, with thickness about 5 to 15 cm, that could be used as insulation in building (walls and roofs)

you can search the internet for "recycling plastic materials" in your area, there are many manufacturers who colect (they pay for this kind of waste) PE, PP, PS, ABS or PET and made granules from it, selling them after for more, as raw material.

I tryed to cut these battlements for Minas Tirith but the foam board is just to thick. Can somebody give me tips or tricks or what kinds of equipments you would find in your house?
I do own an Xacto Hobby Knife

You can make a hot-wire foam cutter if you can get an old toaster;
it’s probably not going to be around the house, but goodwill, salvation
army, and other types of thrift stores are likely to have old ones you can
get for $5 or so; you can use a short 4 or 5 inch sectoin of the heating
element wire hooked up to a 6 volt power supply or lantern battery and
use it to cut easily and cleanly through the foam board. It’s a bit more
work than just finding a good knife, but if you do a lot of work with foam
boards, it’s worth it.

I used polyurethane expanding foam to block the space between the wall and the pipes under my kitchen sink (I have a mice problem).

Now there’s a big mass of foam around my pipes and I understand I have to remove it mechanically.

What is the best way to remove the excess foam without pulling out the whole piece of foam (and having to do it all over again).

What tool would you use for that?

Knife? (what kind)
Exacto?
Saw?

depending on the space you have to work in I use a small hack saw or small saw, then finish off with a bit of sand paper if you are so inclined

A knife or exacto will make you bleed

Good Luck

A neighbor was doing housework, and my cat was out being nosy and stepped into this foam stuff that the neighbors were using.

The problem is that the foam is for carpets so the foam is definitely stuck on the fur part. Now, my cat is hopping and constantly trying to "shake" the foam from its foot.

My options are to cut the foam off, and allow the rest to be worn off in time or I can put the foot into acetone, but I don’t know how the cat will react to that. Like, I don’t know if that is safe

NO acetone!

If the fur is long enough for you to have someone hold the cat & cut the stuff off, do that. Otherwise… take it to the vet & have them do it.

Preferable to go to vet as they will do a more through job & can knock the cat out if necessary.

This stuff needs to be removed BEFORE the cat starts chewing on it!

I need to mass produce little custom pieces of thin (1/4") foam rubber sheets. Please someone tell me what kind of a machine I need?

you can use an ellison press, a sizzix machine or try your luck with an xacto good luck!!!
