I found a great tool for cutting styrofoam! It is a little burn tool I got from A.C. Moore. It cost 19.00 and you just plug it in , it heats up (400) then you can do extremely precise cutting on the foam without a huge mess! LOVE IT!

I found a foam cutter but it runs on batteries and I always wonder if it will work cutting thru the paper coated foam. I think it will melt thru the foam with ease but I have a feeling the paper part will be tricky.

Have you tried yours on this? If so, how did it work for you?

I found this on the isle that sell stryrofoam sheets. It's called StyroCutter Plus. It is electric. I haven't tried it on foam core yet. I don't think it will cut through the board part. I have used a mini blade on my portable jig saw. Not as clean as this tool but does cut through the board.

I was just asking about that tool on another thread. I saw it on the floral isle (with all the floral foam and such)

You can get a hot knife that will cut through foam board. It looks like an exacto knife but it's electric and gets very hot so be careful.

Could you post a link to what this gizmo looks like?

This is the hot knife I have http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp;jsessionid=N2QVU3DMPWHWQP4SY5NFAFJ50LD3KUPU?CATID=cat3008&PRODID=prd53380&_requestid=478459

The one from Joanne's, tiggy2, sounds great. I hate cutting foamcore. With the coupon it is a great deal!

You all are just great! Now all I have to do is figur out which one to invest in!!

I got one of those! but its no a knife...its like a gun type. I live right on the border so I got it at an office supply store in Mexico when we were decorating my son's room. We put up clouds, and stuff like that out of foam and painted it.

Also...foam is cheaper in Mexico, so that is why we went there. I think the gun was like $7 dlls.

Wow, thanks sugar_plum_fairy, I think you just made the decision for me!!! I just love,love,love my Michaels and Joann coupons!!!

I like the one with knife because it also cuts through the paper backing on the foamcore. Make life so much easier.
