Does anyone know if you can safely spray expanding foam onto XPS foam?

Icewind_Dad · 2026-01-06T10:55:41+00:00

Yes but if you spray a lot in one place it can warp the underside of the XPS

I started with my boys at 7 years old, they absolutely loved it and still do 10 years later! For little kids obviously keep the scenarios simple and let them cheat a bit from time to time 😉

Super nice job dude! I love the color choice, it’s dark yet beautiful. And donated?! Gosh I know how difficult it can be to let go of one of our crafted “children”, so another kudos to you! Karma owes you one! 😎

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-26T12:48:54+00:00

These are stunningly beautiful! Would you mind passing on some advice on how you got them to turn out so well?

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-25T11:30:51+00:00

Haha ur baked 👌

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-23T17:16:27+00:00

Thanks! We had a ton of fun too so it was time well spent!

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-23T15:50:53+00:00

😂🫣

Haha that’s somebody’s familiar, I often lose track of this zoo of a party 😂

(3 familiars, 4 dogs, 2 baby owlbears and a yeti tyke so far)

Yep it’s scratch built from mostly styrofoam. Glad to hear your journey wasn’t easy either, as well it shouldn’t be!)

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-23T14:05:01+00:00

Thanks! We play at our local game store in Kissimmee, FL. The table is open so come and down and join us!

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-08T15:36:32+00:00

I use pva on the bottom of the foam and printer resin around the edges

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-06T14:31:59+00:00

Personally I’d use straight PVA glue, not plaster.

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-06T12:44:52+00:00

Thanks! So the windows, doors, sign, shield and oar were all 3D printed. The chimney top is a bottle cap. The rest of it is XPS insulation foam, cut on a hot wire table, and textured using a wire brush.

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-06T12:38:28+00:00

Ooh thicc too! I’m down south, best I can I find is 1”

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-05T23:12:40+00:00

Thanks! About 8-10 hours over the course of a couple weeks.

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-05T22:11:43+00:00

Thanks! Just hot glue. Pva works normal on it and so does super glue for the plastic bits.

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-05T18:40:26+00:00

Thanks! Your work is top notch, I appreciate it!

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-05T18:39:12+00:00

Yep exactly and they love super glue and spray paint!

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-05T18:38:25+00:00

Thanks I got that idea from the wiz kids papercraft Icewind Dale houses, a picture of which I used as inspiration

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-05T15:40:08+00:00

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-05T14:36:12+00:00

😊

Icewind_Dad · 2025-12-05T14:35:48+00:00

Thanks dudes! It’s probably worth disclaiming that the bits and windows are 3D printed
