It’s craft foam, not the blue insulation board. For clean cuts without loose beads, use a hot wire cutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it for fresh flowers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. EPS doesn't hold water, so it's made for silk, dried and artificial arrangements. For fresh flowers, use wet floral foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I glue pieces together to build bigger?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. White (PVA) glue, foam-safe craft glue or a low-temp glue gun all bond EPS well. Avoid high-temp glue guns and solvent-based adhesives, which melt it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Silverlake Craft","offers":[{"title":"3 Pack","offer_id":44082095227080,"sku":"6E-0MWB-KMDD","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Pack","offer_id":44082095292616,"sku":"JP-Q43J-ZROP","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/5906\/6824\/files\/747a4956-b6d4-53cb-b6ab-6fd06f4983ba.jpg?v=1725489206","url":"https:\/\/silverlakecraft.com\/products\/foam-blocks-8x12x2-inch","provider":"Silverlake Craft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
