By the way, I didn’t ask (!) but when I inquired about using their glues for a Foamie camper, and if anyone had ever done so previously, the folks at Hot Wire Foam Factory were intrigued and offered a discount if I’d give them feedback as they had no documentation from anyone who had, if they could use photos of my build on their website. So no freebies but a decent discount, and I’m going to be brutally honest.
First critique - while their Craft level 4 inch hot knife foam cutter and power supply eventually cut this 3” foam, it took FOREVER. I bought the cheapest power supply. I’m sure one of their better power supplies would have made the 4” hot wire cutter work more quickly.
I had purchased Bosch jigsaw blades specifically made for cutting soft materials including rigid foam insulation. I used it for my first cut, to cut blocks to insulate the frame, but that blade wanders so far and wide it was completely useless.
The hot knife, while very slow in 3” xps, cut a nice straight line as long as I went slow. If I tried to hurry it, the wire bent easily, but it was just as easily bent back.
