Taking precautions with all construction materials ,tools , and applications , are things we need to be aware of. However, if not using foam because it's toxicity ,flashpoint , then throwing your couch,drapes, out before guests come over that smoke ,would be the next logical move . Polystyrene and styrofoam will melt at the touch of a soldering iron tip. While not discounting that fires are posssible, having a proper fire extinguisher nearby is a good idea. Keeping the windows open for proper ventilation is also a must, with all soldering,painting jobs.There are concerns with everything we use. Taking proper precautions are the way to keep using things without freaking everybody out. If it was so dangerous , the manufacturers of hot foam cutting products would be in a world of deep legal troubles by now.
