Balsa- FoamŽ print making

BalsaFoam.jpg (32000 bytes)

Balsa-FoamŽ can be easily carved with traditional and non-traditional hand tools to create the shape and design you want. It can then be decorated with any paint just like balsa wood.

Balsa-FoamŽ (density of 5 lb. per cubic foot) is great for students because it's easy to sculpt and does not require the use of sharp tools. 

Balsa-FoamŽII (density of 10 lb. per cubic foot) is still relatively easy to carve and shape like Balsa-FoamŽ, but requires the use of sharper or pointier tools like regular pottery tools.  The higher density holds intricate detail and is more durable. 

Since Balsa-FoamŽ has no “memory” or rebound, it will hold an impression. This means you can create detailed shapes by simply pressing any object into the surface. Carving, block printing, and sculpting are easy to teach with Balsa-FoamŽ.

Tips for using Balsa-Foam:
Most glues work well with Balsa-Foam including wood glue, hot glue. When bonding two blocks of BalsaFoam to make a larger block for carving, keep the adhesive well inside the ultimate shape to avoid having a glue seam that is difficult to carve across
Any type of water-based or solvent-based paint or coating can be used to decorate your Balsa-Foam project. An initial coat of Krylon spray paint will help seal the foam.
Balsa-Foam is non toxic however the dust can cause eye irritation. Do not rub eyes while using and wash hands after using. The use of safety goggles and/or dust mask are recommended when sanding or using power tools
