Thanks again for your video because I have never seen many of these tools or methods like a hot wire. I would have never imagined the glue stopping the cutting. I am glad you demonstrated it.

My! My! Look at all those plates!!!! Good video Pete. Very informative. My preference is to use expanding foam. However it's best to have ready a number of sculptures for adhering as it does evaporate quickly!

@TreasuryRoad 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks heaps, love my plates and as you know all the bling. Expanding foam does work well especially with the Foam gun and yes having a few sculptures depending on the sizes gives you better value for money. I just dont like all the warning labels for it. :)

Hi Peter, Hope you are well. I have plate envy, I couldn’t take my eyes off them .Thankyou for the tutorial, I had to watch it twice, because I was dreaming about your crockery lol Alana.

Use expanding poly in an aerosol tin to glue up layers. And weight them down!

Thanks David, that does work well but a hot wire going through it can be difficult if at all. I have heard "Great Stuff" in the USA is good to use but I personally haven't used it. Thanks for commenting. :)

Thankyou so much. LOL You noticed. lol Actually I dont buy any crockery now it just gets given to me and Im a lot more selective in what I keep as well as it really takes up considerable room. :)

Thank you for all of your helpful videos. I do have one question. Have you ever used PET foam? It's made from recycled soda bottles. I found some cast-offs from a plumbing wholesaler. They use the foam for shower floor substrates. I wonder if it can be cut with a hot wire.

@TreasuryRoad 3 жыл бұрын

Thankyou and my pleasure, I have used different foams in the past for different signage and photography applications I have only used EPS for sculpting, I would suggest doing a test on it with a hotwire or have a good look on the net and see what comes up. :)

Peter, thank you for sharing! Question, do you know of a good substitute for Fix All in the USA? I can't find it here.

@TreasuryRoad 3 жыл бұрын

Thankyou so much. If you are wanting to adhere the polystyrene together then "Great Stuff" its completely different to Fix All but that would be one that I would look at, its a expanding foam but the low flow version combined with the applicator gun supposedly works very well. I haven't used it as its not available here and as always ensure you read the MSDS and technical sheets before purchasing or using as with any product. Im sure you would have a similar product to Fix All in the USA but I personally dont know of one.

Thanks so much. can I also mosaic over cardboard?

@TreasuryRoad 3 жыл бұрын

Thankyou very much. Carboard would go soggy and would most likely bend with the weight also it would absorb moisture causing your mosaic to fail. :)

My imagination would be to make moulds with these as the template of the finished shape then with those moulds make carbon fibre pieces to make an ultra lite aircraft. 🤓

Can I put the polystyrene for decorative molding ? Thank you!

@TreasuryRoad Жыл бұрын

I cant answer your question specifically, but generally yes. I have seen it used as molding on the outside of a building, many years later it has worn due to the birds and the weather. I would think they would apply a coating over it to increase its durability. I would think if it was inside there would be less issues to be concerned about. :)
