Thanks for that...also cheers for the info on the polishing wheel. Maplins...the one in Manchester ? Oxford road is it? nice one teef --- End quote --- ras - No, one of the several in London. Took a trip to Tottenham Court Road, a place a technofreak should never go, not with a loaded credit card anyway! --- End quote --- ah, with ya...no worries. I imagine they all stock the same products tho eh? |

When you cut it, use the sharpest blade you can find! That foam will tear and shred in a heartbeat. I ended up having to cover my cut edges with black tape. |

That thing is the SHARPEST blade I've EVER used....was brilliant for trimming flash from the runners :) Hopefully it should be like a knife through butter |

Just spoke to someone who says 'foamex' is more like a PVC board and has to be cut with a saw etc. i.e. can't be simply cut with a sharp knife. EDIT: Sod it, I'll pick a piece of 40" x 30" white foamboard up this weekend and spray it black. I have some car spray paing that I can use. If I use light coats (and build up) then I can't see there being a problem with it being saturated. Spray dries a lot quicker than brush painting... Craig |
