There are a couple of spots where my foam sits maybe a quarter inch too high when the pieces of foam but up to each other. Can this be fixed by sanding the foam down to the same level? Its the 2" pink foam by the way.

Jerry–
You can sand, cut or scrape pink foam. I like to use a Stanley Sur-form tool, Beware–lots of pink bits come loose. Have a shop vac handy.

Thabks for the response. I have the vac handy for sure. [^]
It’s great fun with a belt sander and some course sandpaper,…NOT!!![swg]
I’m learning with this stuff thats for sure. I’d always used plywood before but wanted to go with foam for this. I will say that when cutting the foam don’t use a circular saw[:0] The balde heats up and starts to melt the foam…[:I]
Those sponge-center sanding blocks work well, too. At a train show, one vendor was actually trying to pu***hem as ‘track cleaners’ - NOT a good idea, but I bought some Tortoises from him and he threw one in the bag, so I used it to level off imperfections in my pink foam. You can find them in the paint department just about anywhere, even WalMart.

I just did it yesterday… It can be done
