Re: Duct tape mess
I would try alcohol or naphtha first, then maybe try acetone. The cured glass and urethane foam are impervious to short term exposure to all of these. Don't try this on any of the styrene foam

Re: Local foam source
My description of EPS was wrong. You do need XPS. The EPS will work for my unique purpose. To find lots of XPS suppliers google "extruded polystyrene". Clark Foam, among others is there.

The extruded is the stuff it has a blowing agent in

Re: Local foam source
The material shipped by QAC WAS expanded. Extruded would be solid and

Re: CNC Hot Wire travel for Q1
Hello Dan & Leon,
That looks reasonable. Maybe you are right and accepting a bulky trailer is the way to go.
