PROJ: AK8094 · SHEET 2 / 4
View · Overview
Product overview
AK8094 pairs an A4 working area with 10 mm of carving depth. The rigid phenolic foam measures 228 × 304 mm, providing room for continuous wall sections, broad pavements, large facades or joined scenic structures. Its surface can be planned and engraved directly; AK’s worked example uses a scribed herringbone paving pattern, demonstrating how repeated lines can be pressed into the close grain before the overall form is shaped and finished.
- The manufacturer gives the foam a density of 10 Pcf
- A sharp cutter or compact saw can divide the sheet
- Carved marks stay permanent because the material does not spring back
- The surface can be sanded to soften effects or create a smooth finish
- AK confirms compatibility with acrylic, lacquer and enamel paints
Notes · Q & A
What is the difference between AK carving foam and construction foam?
Carving foam is a rigid 10 Pcf phenolic foam with a very fine grain for precise engraved detail. Construction foam is 33 kg/m³ polystyrene; it is less resistant to pressure and is incompatible with spray products, acetone and cyanoacrylate.
How do I cut and shape AK foam?
Both materials can be carved, shaped and sanded. AK recommends a sharp cutter or small saw for carving foam, with cutting or pressure tools for engraving; construction foam may have a rough cut surface that can be sanded smooth.
What glue should I use on AK foam?
Join pieces of carving foam with PVA glue or cyanoacrylate gel. AK does not specify an adhesive for construction foam, but its compatibility table marks cyanoacrylate as unsuitable.
Can I spray or airbrush paint onto AK foam?
Carving foam accepts spray primer and can be painted with acrylics, lacquers or enamels. Do not apply spray products directly to construction foam: brush on an acrylic primer first, then use acrylic colour or enamel weathering.
Will carved detail stay put, or does the foam spring back?
Both foams lack the memory or rebound effect that would make pressed detail rise again. Engraved lines and carved textures therefore remain until the modeller deliberately reshapes them.
