Is there a way you can make circle shape with foam core
A tip i learned way back when is that if you put gasoline on one side (just enough) it will dissolve the adhesive between the foam and the paper on that side. You can then peel the paper off and it will allow you to created amazing curved surfaces without any relief cuts. (A old pump oil can works great for dispensing the gasoline)
It probably depends on the glue that is used to manufacture the foam core. I assume the gasoline will have some sort of a lingering odor as well??
Hot glue on the foam portion of foam core? C'mon.
Your comment just gave me such a good idea for the next video, Thanks!
