Anyone in the UK help? Looking at starting my own 2.5D project and after watching DM Scotty, DMG, Wyloch and other fantastic videos I was wondering if anyone had a source for the 'dollar' store foamcore that is mentioned as the foamcore I get I cannot peel one side off as demonstrated as the glue is too good. Also in a few of the videos on making bottles the Crafters use toothpicks with a turned end that are perfect for representing corks etc. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Richard P

found it in the paper department of the dollars store. its not in the crafting area. they are poster board that are used to pin stuff down. you know right aside the cardboard stuff and under the letters stuff.
if anything else just ask for foam board and they will tell you where they are.

I think someone posted once that you could get the paper off the higher-quality foamcore / foam board more easily if you moistened it with a sponge. If you try that, start with a light wetting and increase it if needed. No idea how to google for cheap foam board in the UK. "No, I don't want the quality stuff at a sale price - I need the cheaply made stuff!"

Dampen it and hit it with a hair dryer, safer than a heat gun at getting it off, but you'll still need to watch out and might need to put some weights on it.
