View · Overview

Product overview

AK8095 offers an A4 sheet of rigid phenolic carving foam at 8 mm thick, with stated dimensions of 228 × 304 mm. The broad, comparatively shallow format suits long pavements, building faces, walls and base inserts where patterned surface area matters more than deep relief. Engraving is carried out with a scriber, blade or another pressure tool, and the absence of rebound keeps the impressed design in the surface.

  • Density: 10 Pcf
  • The very close grain allows precise carved detail
  • A sharp cutter or small saw can be used for cutting
  • Abrasive work can smooth the face and soften engraved effects
  • Spray or airbrushed primer can seal the structure after engraving

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.
