Urethane Foam
This is a 2.5 lb. density two-component urethane foam. Simply measure equal amounts of part A and part B (1 to 1 ratio by weight), mix and stir. Foam will expand within minutes and harden in less than an hour. Excellent for building up bases for habitat construction. Pour directly onto base and it will expand to a lightweight rigid foam which can then be carved, rasped, cut or sanded. Many artists shape their foam by hand while it expands. Just wear latex gloves and dust them with talcum or baby powder. (Caution: Do not breath fumes while foam is expanding.) This is a quick and inexpensive way to make bases for marsh scenes, snow scenes and ground cover scenes. After the foam hardens simply cover with the material of your choice. For dry ground, use colored mache or WASCO Instant Base Mix. For wet earth, try using dried (used) coffee grounds mixed with lay-up resin. For snow, paint the foam white and use WASCO artificial snow or snow flocking. For sand, mix dry sand with ElmerŐs Glue and water. Also great for mannikin alterations, or for creating carcass cast mannikins for specialty poses.

Blue Styrofoam Brand Foam Blocks
Light blue Styrofoam brand foam is a favorite of many taxidermists for carving custom fish and snake mannikins. The lightweight but tight cell construction is easy to work with. It cuts, rasps, and sands easily, yet has adequate strength for most taxidermy purposes. Also known as "blue board," this foam will dissolve if it comes in contact with solvents such as acetone, toluene, or lacquer thinner. Repairs and any gluing should be made with epoxy, superglue, hot glue or Bondo. WASCO is offering this Styrofoam in a new size which minimizes your shipping expense when shipping via UPS ground. Our new 36" x 12" x 10" is a great size for most taxidermy projects, yet this size is slightly less than the minimum dimensions for an oversize box with UPS. So instead of being charged for a 30 lb. box (because of the oversize dimensions), you only pay the actual shipping weight of the foam, which is only 7 lb. including the box. This saves you an average of over $10.00 on the shipping charges.
