faom - cutting

[kopend]

i need to cut some foam

maybe like a concave shape in a piece of foam so it will be tricky to get it neat with just scissors or a knife is there a special tool you can get for this type of job

[legendis.god]

An electric carving knife can be used.Can depend on the density of the foam tho


DTH?

[joranjoran]

personally dont think there is, you could contact a foam shop/supplier on line? and take some advice,

Legend's answer is the most commonly recommended method. Another way is to make a plywood, hardboard, or MDF pattern, lay it on the foam, and compress the foam until it's fully flattened. (This could take quite a bit of pressure). Then cut the foam along the curve with a Stanley knife, using a new blade. When compressing the foam, you have to make sure you push straight down, with no sideways movement. Try on a scrap piece.
