Re: Pelican 1720 precision cut foam (hot wire cutter)

I will add a tip tho....
Go to a craft store and buy some spray adhesive. Once your first level of foam is cut spray back side of the cut level then place it back down on the second level.
The foam stays in place very well and adds a nice touch to the whole project.
Good thread,

Scott,
I actually use double sided carpet tape. The reason being is after about two weeks the tape cures and you can remove it if you need to. I also tape the foam together, and to the case itself for added rigidity. I've had it like this for five months or so and it's still as solid as day one, but I can remove it whenever I want to make a different template, or whatever.

I have a question about getting the cut started. How do you start your cut after you have your temple on the foam? Thanks </div></div>
Take a razor and plunge a pilot hole in the foam, feed the wire through the hole and connect it back to your wire cutter.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
