Thank you very much and not only for your explanations which are always very informative, but also your kind and compassionate attitude. Watching your videos makes me happy.
Thanks again for your video because I have never seen many of these tools or methods like a hot wire. I would have never imagined the glue stopping the cutting. I am glad you demonstrated it.
My! My! Look at all those plates!!!! Good video Pete. Very informative. My preference is to use expanding foam. However it's best to have ready a number of sculptures for adhering as it does evaporate quickly!
Thanks heaps, love my plates and as you know all the bling. Expanding foam does work well especially with the Foam gun and yes having a few sculptures depending on the sizes gives you better value for money. I just dont like all the warning labels for it. :)
Hi Peter, Hope you are well. I have plate envy, I couldn’t take my eyes off them .Thankyou for the tutorial, I had to watch it twice, because I was dreaming about your crockery lol Alana.
LOL@ watch twice, Alana, I know the feeling when I go to peoples homes I eye off their good crockery and when I ask if they still want them I get a resounding YES! :)
I find your videos very helpful. I just started saving the packaging, literally yesterday! So the timing is perfect for me. I learned several important things here, so thank you.
Love this information! Thank you! Will we see more on 3-D, I hope? Like carving or cutting? I don’t have a hot cutter...yet, lol! But would like to get one. Thanks again!
Thankyou so much. LOL You noticed. lol Actually I dont buy any crockery now it just gets given to me and Im a lot more selective in what I keep as well as it really takes up considerable room. :)
Thanks David, that does work well but a hot wire going through it can be difficult if at all. I have heard "Great Stuff" in the USA is good to use but I personally haven't used it. Thanks for commenting. :)
Thank you for all of your helpful videos. I do have one question. Have you ever used PET foam? It's made from recycled soda bottles. I found some cast-offs from a plumbing wholesaler. They use the foam for shower floor substrates. I wonder if it can be cut with a hot wire.
Thankyou and my pleasure, I have used different foams in the past for different signage and photography applications I have only used EPS for sculpting, I would suggest doing a test on it with a hotwire or have a good look on the net and see what comes up. :)
I cant answer your question specifically, but generally yes. I have seen it used as molding on the outside of a building, many years later it has worn due to the birds and the weather. I would think they would apply a coating over it to increase its durability. I would think if it was inside there would be less issues to be concerned about. :)
Thankyou so much. If you are wanting to adhere the polystyrene together then "Great Stuff" its completely different to Fix All but that would be one that I would look at, its a expanding foam but the low flow version combined with the applicator gun supposedly works very well. I haven't used it as its not available here and as always ensure you read the MSDS and technical sheets before purchasing or using as with any product. Im sure you would have a similar product to Fix All in the USA but I personally dont know of one.
My imagination would be to make moulds with these as the template of the finished shape then with those moulds make carbon fibre pieces to make an ultra lite aircraft. 🤓
Thank you very much and not only for your explanations which are always very informative, but also your kind and compassionate attitude. Watching your videos makes me happy.
Thankyou so much really appreciate that very much and your comment makes me happy as well. Thanks so much for watching. :)

Yes, the plates! WOW! And I thought I was a collector! Ha ha ha It is fun.
So happy you’re doing this series! I’ve found I prefer working 3-D so this is just what the doctor ordered. As always, thanks a million!
My pleasurer and thankyou for watching. :)

Thankyou very much, part 2 is on carving and sculpting. :)
@@TreasuryRoad yes! So excited!
Great video! Very informative.
Thankyou very much. :)
Thanks for this video. I learned a lot.
My pleasure Barb and thankyou for watching. :)
Made me laugh. Love the humor.
LOL Thankyou so much glad you enjoyed it. :)
So helpful, thank you!
Thankyou Cheryl and thanks for watching. :)
SO who's addicted to collecting crockery then ? :-) :-) Another great video - I was wondering how to achieve this
Thankyou so much. LOL You noticed. lol Actually I dont buy any crockery now it just gets given to me and Im a lot more selective in what I keep as well as it really takes up considerable room. :)
You can definitely have classes if you wanted to with all of those materials.
Thanks so much. can I also mosaic over cardboard?
Thankyou very much. Carboard would go soggy and would most likely bend with the weight also it would absorb moisture causing your mosaic to fail. :)
Use expanding poly in an aerosol tin to glue up layers. And weight them down!
Thanks David, that does work well but a hot wire going through it can be difficult if at all. I have heard "Great Stuff" in the USA is good to use but I personally haven't used it. Thanks for commenting. :)
Great info, thanks very much x
My pleasure Cindy and thankyou for watching. :)
This is great

@@TreasuryRoad Thank you. I'll give it a go. Probably next spring when it's warmer and I can work outside.
@@laurimuhonen9484 Sounds like a plan. :)
Can I put the polystyrene for decorative molding ?
Thank you!
I cant answer your question specifically, but generally yes. I have seen it used as molding on the outside of a building, many years later it has worn due to the birds and the weather. I would think they would apply a coating over it to increase its durability. I would think if it was inside there would be less issues to be concerned about. :)
Peter, thank you for sharing! Question, do you know of a good substitute for Fix All in the USA? I can't find it here.
Thankyou so much. If you are wanting to adhere the polystyrene together then "Great Stuff" its completely different to Fix All but that would be one that I would look at, its a expanding foam but the low flow version combined with the applicator gun supposedly works very well.

Which is the most to least expensive??
That would depend on where you live, just Google it.
Thank you !!

Awesome idea John, considerable work but would be fun. Thanks for watching. 😊
