How should I store the foam sheets?

Troubleshooting
Adhesive not sticking well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Press firmly onto the desired area for at least 10-15 seconds. For less porous surfaces, consider using a craft glue in conjunction with the adhesive.
Foam sheet tearing during cutting
Use sharp scissors or a craft knife for cleaner cuts. For intricate shapes, consider using a craft punch designed for foam or thicker paper. Make slow, deliberate cutting motions.
Material doesn't hold shape after bending
While flexible, the foam has a memory. If it doesn't hold a specific fold, try creasing it more firmly or using a small amount of craft glue to secure the shape.
Paint or marker smudging
Allow the foam to acclimate to room temperature if stored in a cold environment. Test paints and markers on a scrap piece first. Some porous paints may require a primer or sealant before decorating.
