Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What kind of glue should not be used with polystyrene?

Avoid glues containing solvents or acetone, as they can "melt" the polystyrene. We recommend using special foam glues, PVA glue, or a low-temperature hot glue gun.

Is this toy solid inside?

Yes, this 10 cm ball is solid, making it sturdy and capable of holding its shape even when many decorative elements are pinned into it.

Can this blank be used for outdoor decorations?

Polystyrene itself is moisture-resistant, but its outdoor durability will depend on the materials (paints, varnishes) used for decoration.
