Today, making a mess was the name of the game. Definitely had to wear a mask to keep from ingesting pounds of fine blue foam! I used a plunge router to start, then moved into using an orbital sander and some perm-a-grit hand carving tools. Obviously there’s no effort in cutting foam, (with a power tool, it takes a little effort by hand!) but since the resistance is low then I had to be careful when close to the lines.
The process continues: Removing lots of foam, creating a gross outline of the individual areas, transitioning and then smoothing it all out. I started from the rear half and moved forward.
I started this step mid-morning, and tried to stay in the shade not just because of keeping the sun off the foam, but because it was pretty darn hot as well. I worked well into the late afternoon and slowly nugged my way through this beast!
