You need three different forces here: adhesive forces to hold A to C, adhesive forces to stick C to B, and cohesive forces to hold C together as well. The first two are pretty obvious: the glue has to stick to each of the materials you want to hold together. But the glue also has...
Open the two plastic bags and place half of the polystyrene beads in each bag. Use one bag for each color. Pour half the Borax mixture in each bag. Next add half the colored glue mix to each bag. Add more beads or water if the final product is not the desired consistency. Step 4 ...
Feel free to jazz up the basic slime recipe. The cross-linking that holds the polymer together also helps slime hold mix-ins. Add tiny polystyrene beads to make the slime more likefloam. Add pigment powder to add color or to make the slime glow under a black light or in the dark. Sti...
Polystyrene (including EPS) is just horrible for this usage (brittle, no resiliency, leaves a mess of static crumbs, etc.) 2) EPE (Expanded PolyEthylene) foam is more rigid but may also work for you. 3) If you order PE or EPE foam online, be aware that some Chinese vendors take ...

Insulation foam board seems to be a particularly intriguing choice for steam box construction. As you point out, a foam box retains heat very well: 2-in.-thick polystyrene has about 10 times the R-value of 3/4-in. plywood (R-value is the measurement of a material’s capacity to resist...
Pour the liquid into a Styrofoam cup. This is an insulating material that will retain the heat for longer. Alternatively, pour the liquid into a container and wrap a layer of polystyrene around it. Place a heat bag on one side of the container and wrap a towel around it. ...
