<br />[quote]QUOTE: If you want to dig a pond or lake, spray some type of product containing petroleum distillates and let it dissolve the styrofoam to the desired depth, then spray with water to stop the action of the distillate. [/quote][quote]QUOTE: <b>I've never tried this</b>, but it doesn't sound like it would allow much control over what you're doing, and also sounds like it could produce some pretty heinous fumes and smells. I converted my soldering gun into a hot-wire cutter by replacing the soldering tip with a piece of bare copper wire, 16 AWG or so, bent into the shape of the 'gouge' I wanted to cut. <br />[/quote] Actually distallates work well and if you use WD40 the fumes are no worse than spraying a door hinge. Water floats the oil off and stops the melting. Using a hot wire is actually more dangerous from fumes released, causing a fire, and buring you arm or hands to the bone almost instantly. Don't knock it until you try it. FRED
