A hot melt glue gun makes gluing this foam fast and easy. You can also glue the foam down with an expanding urethane glue, such as Gorilla glue, or some of the expanding foam that comes in an aerosol can. The different glues can make sanding over seam lines difficult, as they are usually a different density and hardness than the surrounding foam. |
Shaping this foam also can be done with sandpaper, sureform files, knives, and picks. Even your fingers can shape this foam quite easily and rapidly. | Shaping this foam also can be done with sandpaper, sureform files, knives, and picks.
