[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by twhite Ken--did you buy the natural fibre furnace filter, or fibreglass air-vent filters? I got the stuff from Home Depot and it's all natural fibre and works really well--no splinters or anything... [/quote] Actually it was a discarded, used furnace filter I pulled from my trash can. I missed the phrase in Aggro's opening paragraph that specifies natural fiber filters. [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Big_Boy_4005 I'm not sure this is a good application for this material. That floral foam is fairly rigid and ultimately turns to dust when ground. The little chunks in the photo look nice, but a more spongey foam is probably better. If you don't like Woodland Scenic's prices, it is possible to make your own ground foam. I once made small batches of custom colors, using old foam rubber cushions, latex paint, and an old hand cranked meat grinder. [/quote] I was attracted to this stuff because it grinds easily, but that same physical property will probably make it deteriorate over time. As I mentioned earlier, this floral foam is an experiment -- I wanted to stimulate an online discussion to find the best way to make cheap foliage.
