In this video I experiment with lost foam casting by attempting to turn Styrofoam cups into metal. I used drywall joint compound to coat the Styrofoam and allowed it to dry before dissolving the foam with acetone and then burying the cups in sand. This can be a great way to preserve the detail on foam objects.
