Hello,
IMPORTANT SHIPPING COST NOTE:
Due to recently increased shipping cost of
International packages I have organized many of my listed items in “related item groups” …this
practically means that you can greatly benefit from combined shipping
if
you wisely devote some time and search through my eBay listings and
find two or more items that might interest you.
Then just send me a message with your item choices
and I will respond the same day with calculated combined package weight to result
a new greatly reduced shipping cost…in
many cases your second or third item can be included in the same box as the
first one with almost zero or very low additional shipping cost!
News update April 2023:
These highest quality special grade XPS have already
earned an enviable worldwide reputation as being the best foam sheets money can
buy… each one is individually cut in my custom made jigs and precision
measured at 8 separate points along the surface to ensure the highest accuracy.
You pay for quality and precision along with the
top grade material while getting my personal attention
from initially cutting your sheets to carefully packing for International safe shipping.
All sheet versions are now available for packing and
shipping within a few working days from your eBay order.
Dear buyer,
There is
possibility of scam/fraudulent internet sites/e-shops copying
this eBay item listing photos/text without my permission/authorization or
consent and misleadingly present them in their scam site to attempt a
fraudulent sale.
As common
scam site practice they advertise very low prices with free shipping to
seductively lure unsuspecting people in buying a product or item from
them, be aware they are only trying to sell you items they do not
possess!
*************
During my
40 year as an conceptual artist and association with designing/ building R/C
models I have worked with many different materials to produce my initial
prototypes and 3D actual models… have used balsa and most different grade foams
either EPS or XPS, also worked with specialized types such as
EPP/Depron/Rohacell etc.
All these
materials have a specific use and are great for certain tasks but also have
their limitations… some (such as balsa) are very inconsistent in grade so each
sheet is different in density so difficult to produce accurate and repeatable
results… some foam types are also inconsistent and made from recycled material
so difficult to accurately cut and shape/carve as a some parts maybe harder or
softer within the same board/block or sheet.
The
outstanding material I present in this listing is the one i have finally
settled and combines many great features that I searched for many years… in
general description it is an XPS foam but unique in density and has a very
close cell tenacity, it behaves more like super soft balsa so sands/carves/cuts
easily and produces beautiful results.
A top
quality material made in central Europe that is originally produced for high
demanding industrial building applications… not easily obtained as the most
common types of XPS but totally worth its value, I present below its basic characteristics:
Advantages:
-
Lightweight but also very high impact resistance
- Ding and
crumble proof
-
Uniformity in density
-
Straight/no warp even when cut in thin sheets
- Moisture
proof/dimensionally stable in environment temperature fluctuations
- Cuts and
carves easily/accurately and very smoothly using ordinary tools (Sharp hobby
knife/hot wire/scroll or table saw/sandpaper)
- Bends to
smooth curves without tearing or crumbling
- Sands to
perfection producing a beautiful smooth surface
- Most
commonly available glue types are suitable (PVA/Vinyl/Wood/Epoxy)
- Glue
joints are stable and very strong due to the material resistance to crumbling
and cell separation… many individual sheets can be edge glued to form larger
boards
- Can be
easily brush painted with most water based types of paint (including house
interior paints) or sprayed using specialized foam can sprays… water based
acrylics/ epoxy’s or varnishes are also
suitable
Disadvantages:
- Not
resistant to chemicals and thinners/solvents
- Rarely a
few minor/superficial flaws may be present in the form of a shallow chordwise
indentation due to a momentary pause of the high heat and ultra-thin cutting
wire.
- Sheet
thickness tolerance may vary slightly depending on production batch.
I
personally supervise / cut (Foam Cutting Services) and supply this fine
material in easy to handle and work individual sheets of 1.5/2/4/6/8/10mm thickness, very smooth wave free
sheet surface is obtained with the use of my unique own design/production
A-Just Precision foam cutting bows equipped with a Titanium alloy cutting wire.
eBay links for the A-Just
Precision foam cutting Bows:
The pack offered in this listing contains a total of 10 sheets of (1/16 x 6x36 inch) 153x915mm external dimension of 1.5mm thickness.
Apart from this 1.5mmx 10 sheet
offering and for those who wish to obtain my special foam in their choice of
thickness/sheet number I also offer them in separate listings
relating to different thickness sizes (2/4/6/8/10mm) and also an assortment
pack containing 20 sheets of various thickness sizes…this way you can easily
buy sheets to your requirements.
eBay links:
Additionally I can supply you
with any number of sheets of various thicknesses…also I can custom cut sheets
to your specific thickness requirements …send a message and will get back with
info on your custom order.
I will pack
these sheets very carefully in the following method:
- First all
sheets will be completely bundle packed with a bubble wrap material… this will
result a single block made up of all individual sheets.
- An
external box will be built using thick 5mm double flute cardboard… this sturdy
box will contain the bundle pack of the foam sheets.
- All
mating edges of the cardboard box will be taped tight together using 50mm wide
tape… tape will overlap at all corners forming additional protection against
dings.
- This
method is based on my extensive experience in international shipping ensuring a
safe travel and successful arrival to your international destination… your new
and beautiful special foam sheets should reach you in perfect condition.
A totally
value packed offering of a high grade industrial quality XPS material that you
will be proud to work with… your imagination is the only limit!
