Hi All, There have been a few recent developments. I learned about a company at http://www.phlatboyz.com/ that manufactures kits for cnc machines that can be programmed to cut thin rigid materials like eps foam and thin plywood. This company sponsors a discussion group at http://www.phlatforum.com/ where I was probably the first member to post information about a product called StyroSpray that can be sprayed or brushed onto eps foam to reinforce it and make it waterproof. Recently I received this letter from David Boddie, VP, Industrial Polymers Corporation,
"Hello Frank, StyroSpray seems to be working very well for foam aircrafts. Our product was used last year to coat a 3/4 scale Lockheed Electra prop plane for the Amelia Earhart movie. We are currently working on a big alien space craft for the Predator Planet move (sequel to the original Arnold movie) but we can't talk about the project at this time. We have found something very interesting, StyroSpray will transfer images off a printed transparency. If you go to the office supply and buy the transparent sheets of plastic used to print images for overhead projectors you can transfer off images. I print the image using my desk jet printer in color, then I lay the plastic sheet on top of foam coated with StyroSpray. When the StyroSpray cures I can later peal off the plastic sheet and the image transfers on to the coated foam surface.We can harden card stock paper very well, our stuff is working great on paper and paper mache.We have a new video on the StyroSpray web page demonstrating the coating of paper construction. Works great, hard, no bubbles. David" Best wishes, Frank
