[amayausers] Re: amayausers] Foam

Melissa,

 I played with foam a bit here at Melco. The digitizing techniques mentioned
help, but there are still areas where the foam will stick through. The
little edges left where the perforation is etc. I used a heat gun we use for
shrink tubing on wiring. It definitely did the job and causes the foam to
shrink back into the thread. But watch out you do not get the garment too
hot and scorch the threads or material. I have seen posts from other lists
doing the same thing and they recommended getting a heat gun from a hobby
store. Perhaps the one I used gets too hot, but if I was careful with how I
used it, things worked pretty well.
