    When cutting the Styrofoam, try using a very hot knife and use the back edge. It melts the Styrofoam instead of cutting it and doesn't leave all of those little static cling balls behind.

      @theresavancamp7575 2 года назад

      Trust me, the styrofoam will break, never decomposing, and those nearly invisible particles will enter your body through your mouth and nose and your children's mouth and nose. It is not good.

      you can get a foam cutter at walmart in florals right where their foam is for about $7 if you do much foam cutting or a wood burner works well too. I bought one just because I like using DT's foam board for stuff. Blessings all!

    A much easier and cleaner way to cut styrofoam is either a soldering or wood burning tool or nail polish remover with a Q-tip.

      If you use the acetone method please be aware that this combination of styrofoam and acetone will always create toxic fumes. You will need to wear a mask and work outside.
