- Open-cell extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam, also known as Styrofoam, is a lightweight, strong, durable material with a lower density than its blue, closed-cell counterpart, XPS foam. This lower density gives it a "low memory" effect, making it ideal for marking, engraving, transferring textures, scratching, and roughing. Open-cell XPS foam is used to create diverse scenery such as hills and cliffs, game boards, various model-making elements like bricks, or even columns or bases for large dioramas. Its lightweight and durable nature makes it easy to work with, resulting in a popular choice among both hobbyists and professionals.
- The texture of this material is reminiscent of very fine sandpaper, so before painting, it's recommended to apply a protective layer or surface sealer like our Decoupage Medium. Unlike blue XPS foam, this open-cell material can be embossed with textured rollers or carved with a modeling tool.
- Open-cell extruded XPS also has excellent moisture resistance and works very well as thermal insulation. This makes it an excellent choice for creating terrain, landscapes, and other modeling elements such as buildings, bases, and bricks, as well as being ideal for making game boards, dioramas, and other craft projects.
- There are several tools that can be used to shape and cut foam. One of the most common is the hot wire cutter, a handheld device that heats a wire to cut the foam. The hot knife is another tool that uses heat to cut foam, but it's more precise than the hot wire cutter and is ideal for creating intricate details.
- Saws and blades can also be used to cut this material. A handsaw or jigsaw is ideal for cutting large pieces of foam, while a craft knife can be used for smaller cuts and details.
- When working with this material, it is essential to take safety precautions, as it can release toxic fumes when heated or vigorously sanded. It is important to wear a fume mask or work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling the fumes.
