Use bass wood instead.

would love to, but can't... long story.  

foam's the only option at the moment [it could be polyethylene foam as well, but finish is often too rough]

Remember to inhale all the toxins you'd otherwise would emit into our atmosphere, thanks!

Do you need high density foam? Try polyurethane. You can find it online and comes in different colors.

Good suggestion... but, I can't use hot wire with polyurethane [at least I don't think so].  Polyethylene foam can be high density and can be hot-wire cut, but I haven't found one with a decent finish

I think you mean polystyrene

i really meant 'polyethylene foam' as it can be hot-wire cut without any significant toxic emissions

So your OP was incorrect? 

"looking for white foam [extruded polystyrene] in eastern canada [montreal]..."

[1] i'm looking for white foam [extruded polystyrene] in eastern canada. [2] however, if there's no white extruded polystyrene foam in eastern canada, white polyethylene foam with fairly smooth finish would be an alternative. [3] the material in question has to be compatible with hot-wire cutting, which excludes polyurethane foam. voila
