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]

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

[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
