FAQs
What is the thickness of these foam sheets?
The EVA foam sheets are 2mm thick.
Do I need glue to use these sheets?
No, the sheets come with a self-adhesive backing, so no extra glue is required for application.
Can I cut intricate shapes with these sheets?
Yes, the soft foam-like texture makes them easy to cut and punch into various shapes using scissors, craft knives, or punches.
What kind of surfaces can these be applied to?
They adhere well to paper, cardstock, plastic, and smooth wood. Ensure the surface is clean and dry for best results.
Can I decorate the foam sheets?
Absolutely. You can decorate them with paints, markers, glitter, or other craft embellishments.
What size are the foam sheets?
The sheets are conveniently sized at A5.
Are these foam sheets waterproof?
The foam material itself is somewhat water-resistant, but the adhesive backing may not perform well in wet conditions. They are best suited for indoor craft projects.
How should I store unused sheets?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their adhesive quality and prevent colours from fading.
Troubleshooting
Foam sheet not sticking well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth before application. Press down firmly after applying. For less porous surfaces, consider a light sanding or priming.
Cuts are ragged or uneven
Use a sharp craft knife or precision scissors. Ensure the foam is flat on a cutting mat and apply steady pressure. For punches, ensure they are designed for material up to 2mm thick.
Adhesive leaves residue
While designed for clean removal, residue can sometimes occur on delicate surfaces. Gently rub the residue with a clean eraser or use a mild adhesive remover. Test removers on an inconspicuous area first.
Foam tears during cutting or handling
Handle the foam sheets with care, especially when cutting intricate designs. Support the foam while cutting to prevent it from bending or tearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These foam sheets require no setup. Simply peel off the protective backing to expose the adhesive and press firmly onto your desired surface. For best adhesion, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or oil.
Compatibility: The self-adhesive backing generally adheres well to paper, cardstock, plastic, and smooth wood surfaces. It is not recommended for use on fabric, porous surfaces, or textured walls where it may not stick securely or could damage the surface upon removal.
Care: Store unused foam sheets in their original packaging or a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their colour and adhesive properties. Avoid exposing the sheets to extreme temperatures or moisture. To clean any light dust or debris from the surface, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
