Polyfoam Practice

[Gonzo's Hobbit]

Quickl question, I just realized that in addition to it being cheaper it's also like three times wider than the stuff at Joanns. Does it arrive in a box that you can manage it with?

 

[Goochman]

they shrink wrap it, it's tiny when it comes. then you open the box and let it explode lol

 

[Goochman]

and yeah its more than twice the size of the sheets at Joanns and about 1/4 the price

So how do you store it personally?

 

[Goochman]

I just keep it rolled up in my studio. I only order 5 or so sheets at a time so it's not an insane amount to store. It only takes up about as much space as a 40yd roll of Antron

Oh okay cool. I was planningon only one at a time because it's so big (and I don't have a studio) but it still seems like a huge amount

The one thing that's cool about it being so cheap and having a lot of it is that it'll really free you up to experiment and get it right.

Oh totally. I'm so grateful to you guys for showing me this stuff.

 

[Goochman]

yeah the cost is so low now that I don't mind using it to test out new ideas

If anyone cares I have found that hand sewing the foam is a nice way to practice with it. If it doesnt' look right you can take out the stiches and take another approach. I've found that contact cement commits you a little more.
