Model Making Materials

CF65 EVA craft foam

CF65 is a professional premium Craft Foam product. Firmer, denser & more durable than standard Craft Foam, CF65 gives a balance between hardness and flexibility. 

Suitable for making props and armour.

This is the foam Alchemy Forge FX use on their Shield Making workshops.

• Thickness: 5mm
• Sheet size: 500 x 500mm
• Density: 65kg/m³
• Has a slightly grey appearance.
• Lightweight and flexible, yet durable and strong.
• Can be cut, thermo-formed & sanded
• Use a pyrography tool / soldering iron for engraving details
• Suitable for both beginners and professional prop makers, costume designers & cosplayers.

Use contact adhesive (UHU will work if applied to both surfaces then allowed to go tacky). PVA will not work. Super glues (cyanoacrylates) work well for small pieces – adding details, for instance. A hot glue gun can be used – with care (and not advised for 2mm). The heat of the glue will affect the thermos-formable material.
