I want to use the foam to cut a shape that I can cast a cement ring inside. Is the 1 lb easy to cut and firm enough to hold shape for that use?

Yes, the final is very firm. Its not too difficult to cut; should work out great for you.

the foam is layered in the the container.. you can pull it out.. Molding it to what you want it pretty easy as well.. You can use a butter knife to score the shape, and then pluck the foam out. The foam is a big rectangle with several squares in it. very cool and fun to play with.. lol i hope this answers you question

I don't think so - it is foam and would be ruined by cutting, sanding or any sharp tool.

Sure, it would be easy. Try wrapping tape around the foam for clean line when you cut. Are you looking for grips though? This is more for road bike type bars.

Excellent tool for cutting foam sheets. Cuts through material up to 6". Use a non-metallic straight edge for super straight cuts. Not good for intricate scroll cuts. Slices through foam like butter. I'm very pleased with mine.

Quite a cheap cutter, does not hold it's edge very well, for light work it's ok, Xcelite cutters are much better and I use them everyday, building truck looms, available from Amazon, hope this helps you.

Both previous answers work fine, but another trick is to wet the foam, wring it out, then freeze it. Makes it just hard enough to cut cleanly.

I've not used it for poly foam but I can tell you the saw makes clean cuts with melamine-coated particle board. I am using a DeWalt portable saw.

The foam that came with this case was not pick and pluck foam. It requires that you cut the foam to fit your needs. It cuts very easily with a sharp hobby knife or even with an electric kitchen knife. Much better than the pluck foam in my opinion.

Yes, foam board is soft enough for the hot knife to cut through easily. Just make sure the foam board is not too thick (about 1 cm is the max thickness due to the short blade).

Takes a bit of grip power, but yes. I have heavy duty cutters, so it's fairly easy.

We used a box cutter with the same results. It is the way the foam was compressed that causes it to flake slightly when cut. You might find a white tape that can be adhered to the edge for a smoother look.

It could Terence, however, it has a cover on it so when you are done cutting it...the cover might not fit so tightly. You would need something very sturdy and sharp to be able to cut the foam. This is a great gel foam mattress and has firm support. I prefer a little less support..but it's well worth the money. I bought it because it already had a cover on it, which you too would probably want knowing that you are putting it in an RV. Mine didn't have a smell either...and it came up to consistency within 48 hrs after unpacking!

If you want. Its foam but why waste the money cutting this one down when you can shop around for one the size you need and most likely less money?

These are very difficult to cut in half for this purpose. They are not made of a "soft" foam, it is of a dense compacted foam composed of tiny beads. When the integrity of the shape is compromised, the beads break apart and end up everywhere and they static cling to EVERYTHING!

i do not find the foam hard...i like the wedge...do not know what kind of foam it is

I think it would cut the thin craft foam but not sure about adhesive foam. I have never attempted it. There is a Yahoo forum about the Pazzles Inspiration. I'm sure someone on there would be able to answer this question.
