Fun with Foam 2

Hints and tips

If you have stocks of  paper covered foamboard and want to remove the paper covering so that you can scribe the surface, you may find that some makes of foamboard allows the paper to be easily peeled off, whereas with other makes the paper defies all attempts to remove it cleanly. Try wafting it over with a hairdryer and you may find that the paper just falls away. I discovered this after leaving a sheet in the full sun for an afternoon. You don't need to get it too hot, once you get a corner started, hold it by the paper in that corner and let gravity do it's job.
It does tend to warp a tiny bit especially if you only remove the paper from one side, but nothing which can't be fixed in the mix.
