Styrofoam reminder

[KarenF]

Just to remind you and for those of you who haven't found out the hard way yet...

Styrofoam is NOT SPRAY-PAINTABLE

Just thought I would save some of you from some grief over losing your hard work. Most foam "melts" with spray paint.:eek: This includes foam insulation board.

However, it IS paintable with wall paint and acrylic craft paint. Outdoor paint is very durable on projects (and waterproof, too).

I have done some cool projects out of 1" thick foam insulation board. If I can, I will post pics of them sometime soon.

Krylon has come out with a new water based spray paint. I haven't tried it yet, but would think it would spray on foam without melting it.

Seems like that might work. I'll have to look at a can.

The water based spray paints work fine on styrofoam
