## Overview

The Sculpture Block is a 15x15x5cm high-density polyurethane foam carving block designed for artists and 3D designers seeking a lightweight, durable, and easy-to-shape alternative to wood and stone. It supports detailed sculpting with common tools, accepts a wide range of paints and finishes, and is certified safe under ASTM D 4236 standards.

## Description

Sculpture Block is an extremely lightweight, easy-to-shape, high-density, cost effective alternative to wood and stone. It is ideal for all artists and 3D designers who are looking to create highly refined and detailed sculptures and 3D models. These foam blocks will not expand, contract or warp while providing long lasting result. Sculpture Block can be easily shaped using a saw, rasp, scraper chisel or file, and will not oxidize metal tools if not cleaned after use. Once primed with a primer or gesso (2 coats) it can be painted with any type of acrylic or oil paint, decorated with glitter, gold leaf, paper and patina. It can also be coated with plaster, cement, polyester and epoxy and glued with any type of glue or epoxy. ACMI certified as AP Seal, according to ASTM D 4236, and U. S. Labeling of Hazardous Art Materials Act (LHAMA).

Review: Easy to sculpt - Did exactly what I wanted. It is soft enough to carve with dull tools used to work clay. That makes it easy to use, and the minimal amount of force required makes it less dangerous than carving most wood. It isn’t so soft that it deforms or crumbles when working with it, although I was careful with it (you could indent it with a fingernail if it were pressed against it. It does produce a lot of dust, but that should be expected with this type of material. I mainly worked over a tray and rinsed it and my hands off when finished. Despite its foam content, the dust doesn’t cling via static electricity like styrofoam bits do. You can make crisp angles with it even with its softness, but those are easy to dull with handling before it is covered. I’m using it to make Japanese family crests that will be attached to fukigaeshi on a kabuto (ear guards on a type of ancient Japanese helmet). The crest has a few delicate details that are less than a millimeter in size, and I’ve been pleased with how they readily stand out. I was going to apply gesso x 2 as a primer before painting them gold, but I think gesso might obliterate these details, so I can’t say how well it primes or handles paint.
Review: The real stuff - I wanted something similar to professional cast taxidermy forms, and that's what this is. Dense, cuts and sands like balsa wood but without the grain. I tested it with my hot wire foam cutter, which failed miserably - so lesson learned. Switched to my jigsaw and got excellent results. Be warned, the sanding and saw dust is nasty stuff. Almost like silica in feel. Highly recommend for taxidermy forms where strength, durability, detail, and consistency are crucial.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the compressive strength?**
A: Like conventional styrofoam but without the open texture

**Q: Can you cut this with a Hotwire cutter?**
A: Sculpture Block is made from polyurethane foam and not polystyrene. It is not recommended to use a hot wire cutter as the polyurethane foam has a much higher melting point than EPS or XPS foam. Using would cause Sculpture Block to burn rather than melt and produce fumes. It is recommended to use a blade or saw when attempting to cut Sculpture Block.

**Q: Can this be carved with a plastic disposable knife?**
A: Yes, you shouldn't have a problem using a plastic disposable knife.

**Q: Will this resist breakdown from oil?**
A: I used wax and cooking oil mix for the surface for plaster molding.  It was fine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to carve, but not too soft.
*by J***Y on August 1, 2021*

Great product. I have used it previously for carving/modeling. I even purchased one as used -like new. Surprisingly, while a little worn on the corners, it was in otherwise great condition.
