EPP essentials

[Phil Cooke]

All at the PSSA,
I'm currently building a couple of EPP foamies (a DAW Ki61 Tony and a DAM T-33 Shooting Star) and I am struggling finding some of the materials needed to complete as per the destructions....

Can anyone please advise where I can get hold of the following easily on the UK highstreet?

3M 77 Spray Adhesive and 2" Fibreglass reinforced packing tape.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
TTFN
Phil.

3M spray adhesive is often available (at a price ) at artists materials shops and sometimes at photographic suppliers. It is used for mounting prints on boards. Another possible source is a graphics shop (eg wot sells drawing instruments, pens, paper etc).

Ah Ha! :-) I was looking for some myself.

Perhaps I could direct the Rt.Hon Gentleman to Phoenix model products ( www.phoenixmp.com/ ) ...?

Does anyone know a) where I can get some EPP foam in the UK and b) whether its any different to ordinary foam when hot-wire cutting?

Theres a link for EPP raw material for EPP homebuilds on the 'Other Useful Links' section of the PSSA Website...

www.polyformes.co.uk

this should do the trick! ;D

I can't comment on the hot wire techniques myself - I'm not into cutting my own foam panels.

Regarding the fibreglass reinforced tape, is this stuff any good?:www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?ts=34365&id=11376
