 Todd - there is a distinct difference between those 2 materials. The white, "pearly" stuff is not very strong and can hardly be shaped with any other tool than a heat saw, just like WS offers. It is a complete mess to work with - you will find those sticky little bits all over your house. It is cheap or even for free, when you use recycled packaging materials. The blue or pink stuff is much stronger, can easily be shaped with ordinary tools, like a knife, saw, file etc and is a lot less messy to work with.Styrofoam has been in use to make mountains for quite some time, but it is a hazard. In case of a fire, the fumes of melting Styrofoam are toxic, whereas the fumes of Styrodur are supposed to be non-toxic.I don´t work with the white stuff anymore - Petra would kill me!
