Can I paint on these foam sheets?

Can I cut intricate shapes with these?

Troubleshooting
Adhesive not sticking well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or oils before applying. Press firmly for at least 30 seconds. If the adhesive has lost tackiness, it may need reapplication of a suitable craft glue.
Foam tearing when cutting
Use a sharp blade or scissors. Make slow, deliberate cuts. For intricate shapes, consider using a craft knife on a cutting mat.
Colors not matching expected shade
Colors may vary slightly due to manufacturing batches and screen calibration. Order a sample if precise color matching is critical.
Material feels too stiff
While flexible, the 2mm thickness offers some rigidity. For softer results, consider alternative thinner foam products or techniques like scoring to aid bending.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. Simply peel off the backing paper from the self-adhesive side and press the foam sheet onto your desired surface. Ensure the surface is clean and dry for optimal adhesion.
Compatibility: These foam sheets are compatible with most standard craft tools, including scissors, craft knives, and hole punches. They adhere well to paper, cardstock, and other smooth craft surfaces. They can be decorated with acrylic paints, permanent markers, glitter glue, and other dry embellishments. Avoid using wet mediums excessively, as they can saturate the foam.
Care: Store the foam sheets flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or discoloration. Keep the adhesive backing covered with its protective liner when not in use to maintain stickiness. Clean any marks with a slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
