Need your help to stop falling balls from foam -video table top
I watched Maurgareta Mc Mannis' You Tube video how to make a "cheap sewing table". Decided this was probably easiest way to raise the entire table surface to the height of my sewing machine bed. Purchased the purple/pink (she suggested the purple or blue) rigid foam insulation board. On cutting it in 1/2 to get two 4X4' pieces I immediately had pieces of little foam balls falling from the cut areas. They have continued to shed and make a real mess. I attempted to cover with DUCT TAPE but it doesn't stay stuck real well. I haven't cut out the shape of the sewing machine as yet, since I know this will shed all around the machine. I know I can put the two raw edges to the back of the table and enclose that side with the clear plastic she uses to make fabric slide. However, that isn't going to keep the area around the machine closed in without making a lot of bulk trying to tuck and turn everything. HAS ANYONE DELT WITH THIS FOAM BOARD AND FOUND A WAY TO SPRAY OR PAINT SOMETHING ON THE RAW EDGES THAT WILL STOP THE SHEDDING OF TINY FOAM BALLS? THANK YOU
