Durable 3mm Foam for RC Modifications

The Tamiya 70138 Foam Board supplies a 3mm material option that balances flexibility and form stability for hobby projects. It is useful when you need a lightweight substrate for shaping and testing ideas.

Building and Shaping Tips

Cut panels for internal supports, create templates, or mock-up body panels to refine dimensions before committing to final materials. Tamiya 70138 trims neatly and supports basic sanding and shaping.

Fixes and Upgrade Uses

Handy for quick fixes or fabricating custom mounts, the foam board is a simple way to trial modifications. Keep extra sheets on hand to prototype parts prior to permanent installs.

Is this foam suitable for glue-on body panels?

It works for lightweight, glued panels and interior bracing. Use contact or PVA glues and avoid aggressive solvents that can damage the foam.

Which paints bond best to this board?

Water-based acrylics over a light primer usually give good results. Test small patches first and use thin coats to prevent warping.

Can I use the board for battery or electronics mounts?

Yes, it can be used for non-structural mounts and padding, but ensure secure fastening with screws or reinforced glue points for safety.

How should I store spare sheets?

Store flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping and degradation. Keep sheets stacked to maintain flatness.

Any tips for joining multiple sheets?

Butt joints with contact adhesive and internal splines or backing strips give stronger joints. Reinforce seams where loads are expected.
