I have been looking for a way to turn large nosecones out or foam (6 -
12") Typically with my smaller models I have purchased blocks of foam from Michaels or AC Moore, and sanded them into shape using a drill press, and then coated them with epoxy. I can come up with a homemade lathe for the size, but am having a hard time finding some kind of blank stock. I would need too many small blocks to make one large enough, and it would be cost prohibitive. Has anyone tried anything similer using the Home Depot Sheets? I have tried some foam in the past that does not sand well. If you've tried it, how does it sand, into dust that falls straight to the floor, or dust that flies everywhere?Thanks, Charles
