Introduction

Durafoam is the world’s best substitute for a couch cushion. Durafoam is an open cell type of foam that has a lot of air in it which makes it very comfortable and easy to sit on.

It also comes in many different densities, meaning it can be made to be quite soft or quite firm, depending on your needs.

Here are some tips and tricks for using Durafoam as well as some great examples of what you can easily do with this versatile material

What is Durafoam?

Durafoam is made from polystyrene, a very light weight material that can be used to create many different types of props and costumes. This makes it great for decorating your home, or making signs. It’s also good for making models as well!

Durafoam is available in different sizes: 4’x8′ sheets, 6’x6′ sheets, 6′ x 9′ sheets and 8′ x 8′ sheets (for those large projects). The thickness ranges between 1/2″ to 3/4″ thick. You can find these at most craft stores or online retailers like Amazon.

Where can you use Durafoam?

Durafoam is a great material to use when you want to make an object that is lightweight, strong, and durable.

Most people would think of filling in cracks with this product because it is very lightweight. However, Durafoam can be used for other purposes as well. For example:

• You can use it to make molds that are easy to remove later on. This is useful if you want to cast something in concrete or another material that will take longer than desired by using regular plaster-type molding material. A good example would be making your own concrete bathtub surround.* You can also buy kits that come with everything necessary for building a boat hull out of plywood covered in durafoam panels and some type of gelcoat finish so you have something nice looking without having to pay a fortune for custom work done by professionals who may not do such good work (or at least not at the price).

How to use Durafoam with spray adhesive

• Spray the foam with the adhesive.
• Press the foam into the shape you want, making sure to leave an even layer of glue over all surfaces.
• Let it dry for at least 30 minutes before removing from your work surface and repeating steps 2-4 until you’ve built up a sufficient thickness of durafoam around your object or object(s).

How to use Durafoam without spray adhesive

If you want to use your durafoam without spray adhesive, you have a few options.

If you have a glue gun with a hot tip, then this is probably the best option for you. If not, then here are some other ways that you can use your durafoam:

• Use a glue gun with a wide tip and place it directly onto the surface of the material and roll it around until it sticks.
• Use a glue gun with a narrow tip and place it directly onto the surface of the material and roll it around until it sticks.
• Use a glue gun with medium sized tip and place over edge of material while rolling along its length or width (whichever feels easier).

Tips for using DuraFoam

When storing DuraFoam, keep it in a cool, dry place. Ideally, your room temperature should be between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit (10 to 21 degrees Celsius). Also make sure that you store your foam away from any heat sources or other potential hazards. For example, don’t leave it in direct sunlight or near chemicals of any kind; both can cause damage to the material over time.

When working with DuraFoam, always be mindful of how much pressure you apply when cutting or sanding the foam board. If possible try not to use power tools such as saws because these will only increase the risk of breakage.

Make sure you store your Durafoam properly.

It is important to store your Durafoam properly in order to ensure the longevity of your product. The best way to do this is by storing it in a cool, dry place. Make sure that you don’t store it in direct sunlight, because heat can cause the foam to harden and become brittle. Also avoid keeping your Durafoam in a hot, humid environment—this could cause mold growth on top of the surface of your foam as well as underneath its structure. Finally, make sure not to keep any moisture around when storing Durafoam; if water gets trapped inside during storage it can lead to mold growth which will ruin your product!
