Reply to "Pink Foam board vs. Homasote"

Pink foam from table top to mountain top. Used Midwest Products cork roadbed. No sound eminating on the foam. Cool trick. Set your mobile phone to speaker and set on the foam.
Only concern. The foam will become a blow torch and dissolve in the process if it were ever to catch fire.
Don't smell it while carving...
I used a hot knife working on it in the basement with window open and fan running. Only got dizzy once cause I stood right over the vapors while carving a tunnel portal. Only needed to do that once to learn not to do that again.
I used kilz 2 as a primer on anything pink. A couple coats to get a decent base coat.
Don't forget your blue in color foam adhesive otherwise other glues may make the foam dissolve.
I built it in foam so I could transport by myself from basement to dinning room during holidays.
Best practice would be to have a fire bottle handy. Admit I've been lucky so far.
When I find my pictures I'll post a few.
Joe is correct about dents. I had not given that any thought. First time it happened I was bummed out. Now, I call it "character" as the dents can be made to easily look like uneven snow.
