Yes, I’ve have one of those as well. The hot wire does cut nicely. Unfortunately it will not work for this type of foam board because it’s paperback. So the foam board is sandwich between two sturdy pieces of heavyweight paper.
No, the foam board is covered with a heavy paper. I use a hot wire to cut just styrofoam . This foam board is a very tough posterboard like material that is double layers of paper and the foam is in the middle.
Yeah, just peel the paper off the board on both sides (it’s really easy to peel.)cut the shape you want with a hot wire/ hot pen. Once your done, prep the foam for painting /ink drawing. Have fun!
This is an Illustration foam board. It has a layer of poster board coating on the front and back. This cannot be cut with a Hotwire, that’s why I use an X-Acto knife.
What paints can you use to paint this type of foam board that will last and is waterproof for outdoor use?
That's really helpful Thanks!
Very helpful👍
I seen someone burning to cut it. Comes out sooo smooth and really quick. It’s called a Hot Wire Cutter.
