  • Is the foam wet or dry?

  • Use a respirator mask

  • do you use floral foam as just a preliminary draft of sculptures that will eventually be made out of a more sturdy material, or do you use a certain technique to make the foam sculptures less breakable? im just asking since i love to sculpt with floral foam, but I would also love any tips on ways to keep the final product from chipping or denting as floral foam so easily does!
