Product Information
Full details
The Oasis Dry Foam Brick 20 Pack is an essential tool for florists, event planners, and DIY enthusiasts looking to create stable, long-lasting arrangements using dried or silk flowers. These light brown foam bricks offer a reliable foundation for securing stems in a variety of decorative projects, from seasonal displays to complex table centerpieces. While highly effective for non-living materials, users should note that these bricks are not suitable for fresh flowers as they lack the moisture-retention capabilities found in wet floral foam.

FAQs
Can I use these for fresh flowers?
No, these are dry foam bricks and do not absorb or retain the water necessary to keep fresh flowers alive.
Are these bricks fire-resistant?
No, the material is flammable and should be kept away from open flames, candles, and high-heat sources.
Can the foam be reused?
While technically possible, the foam leaves holes once a stem is removed, which may reduce the stability for future arrangements.
What tools are best for cutting the foam?
A standard serrated kitchen knife or a dedicated floral foam cutter works best to achieve clean, straight edges.
Is this product safe to use with hot glue?
Yes, but use low-temperature hot glue, as high-temperature glue can melt the foam.
Troubleshooting
Foam keeps crumbling during insertion
Ensure your stem is sharp or pre-drill a small hole using a skewer before placing the flower to reduce resistance.
Arrangement feels unstable
Use more adhesive at the base of the stems or ensure the brick is wedged tightly against the walls of the container.
Brick is too large for the vase
Use a serrated craft knife to shave small layers off the edges until it fits snugly into the container.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the foam for your project, measure your vessel and use a sharp serrated knife to trim the brick to size. For larger arrangements, use floral adhesive to join multiple bricks together. Once sized, press the stems firmly into the foam; if the stems are thin, it is recommended to apply a small amount of glue to the base of the stem before insertion for maximum security. Keep the foam away from direct water sources or high-humidity environments, as prolonged exposure can weaken the cellular structure of the dry foam. When cleaning up, the material can generate dust, so work on a surface that is easy to sweep or vacuum.
