B4 2 mm foam sheets for model makers

These 2 mm B4 foam sheets are supplied as four panels intended for RC and scale modelling. The sheet face is smooth for easy trimming and offers good adhesion with the right glues.

Common applications include buoyancy panels, internal stiffening and simple airframe shaping. The material keeps component mass low while providing a surface suitable for glue and finishing coats.

For best results, use PVA or contact adhesives safe for foam and avoid solvent-based products that may cause softening. Score and cut with a sharp blade and use a flat cutting surface to preserve straight edges.

Will these sheets help with model flotation?

Yes, used as internal buoyancy panels the low-density foam contributes flotation, though final buoyancy depends on total volume and assembly method.

Are there adhesives that will damage the material?

Avoid solvent-based adhesives and contact cements that list solvents; they can melt the foam. Opt for PVA or specialised contact glues tested for polystyrene or craft foam.

How should I prepare the surface before painting?

Lightly scuff with fine abrasive, dust off thoroughly and test your chosen paint on a scrap to confirm adhesion and finish. Use paints known to be foam-compatible.
