found a old couch cushion in the alley. cut it into small little peices 1/2" x 1/2".
i first put a cup of water into the blender. Turn the blender on, then add some foam peices in the mix. Next step add some craft paint while the blender is mixing.
I blend for about 5 - 10 mins. on the high speed. Then my mix starts to smoke, getting a little to hot, i add more water, still smoke and alot of air bubbles. I bought the blender new, especially for this purpose. And after i drain my mix of foam into the strainer, it seems to be too large for n scale.
Am i missing a step here?
And for the size of foam i was thinking about going to LHS and buy a small bag of fine ground foam to compare the size. I have alot of green foam to reblend to reduce the size of what i have now. Or i can make a ton of trees with this ground foam, and start a new batch for smaller ground foam.
Thanks, Cliff
