Best Foam Sculpting Tools

[thinktankgroup]

Hi there!

I'm looking for some advice or insights on the best foam sculpting tools to use to create world-class 3D foam props and environments.

QUESTIONS
- What are the best foam sculpting tools out there? What are your favorites?
- What tools should we always make sure to have in our arsenal? (Hot wires, hot knifes, chisels, sandpaper, etc.)
- What are the best kinds of tools to buy? The best brands?

I'm somewhat new to foam sculpting, so any insights or recommendations that you can share, I would be really grateful. Thanks!

Just be sure not to use hot-wire tools on anything but styrene-based foams (styrofoam, beadboard, EPS). Burning urethane foams creates extremely toxic fumes (remember Bhopal?)
