Post by: cbjamel on March 04, 2013, 01:15:51 PM

Is there a better 3d foam than another. i hear 2 different stories about shrinking when heated. 1-does, 1-doesn't.

I have been using foam sold by Madeira since the day one and never had issues with it.
I would not know about the other ones.

Do you have to use a heat gun or dryer with it.

No, I try to run it with as much density as possible on the thread. If I have few pieces picking out, I push them back in with tweezers and use one of those long lighters to heat it up.

Ok are you using std 40 wt thread or the thicker 30 wt type?
Thanks for the info trying to improve our products.

Gunolds will puff better than all the rest, I have tried all of them.
