Mickel,

Depending on the thickness of the foam, you might want to look for an extra length knife or coarse cutting blade that will fit into a saber saw, (hand held electric jigsaw).

Subject: Cutting ethafoam on a low budget


What is the best way to cut and shape ethafoam? Of course, I'm on a low budget and
can't buy a $300 hot knife. Any suggestions will help. Thanks.
