Thick Styrofoam Paste:

Gather Leftover Styrofoam: Collect the remains of Styrofoam that you want to reuse. They can be packaging remains, food trays, disposable cups, among others.
Safety Precautions: It is important to carry out this process in a well-ventilated area and away from heat sources or open flames since gasoline is a highly flammable liquid.
Shred the Styrofoam: To facilitate dissolution, shred the Styrofoam into small pieces or grates using a knife or grater.
Dissolution in Gasoline: Place the Styrofoam pieces in a sturdy container and pour enough gasoline to cover them completely. Let the Styrofoam dissolve in the gasoline for several minutes, stirring occasionally to speed up the process.
Obtaining the Paste: Once the polystyrene has completely dissolved, you will obtain a thick and malleable paste. It can be molded or used to fill gaps and cracks in various craft projects.

Transparent Styrofoam Varnish:

Gather Leftover Styrofoam: As in the previous case, make sure to collect the remains of Styrofoam that you want to reuse.
Shred the Styrofoam: Shred the Styrofoam into small pieces or grates, similar to the previous process.
Safety Precautions: Carry out this process in a well-ventilated area and away from heat sources or open flames.
Dissolving in Acetone and Universal Thinner: Place the Styrofoam pieces in a sturdy container and pour acetone and universal polyurethane thinner in a 2 to 1 ratio. Let the polystyrene dissolve in the mixture for several minutes, stirring occasionally to speed up the process.

Obtaining the Varnish: Once the polystyrene has completely dissolved, you will obtain a transparent varnish. It can be applied to different surfaces to protect them and give them a shiny and resistant finish.
By reusing Styrofoam, we not only reduce the environmental impact associated with its disposal but also open up a world of creative possibilities to use these new materials in various crafts and projects. It is important to always carry out these reuse practices in a safe and appropriate environment, taking the necessary precautions to avoid any risk associated with the materials and liquids used. Dare to give Styrofoam a second life and discover the beauty and functionality you can create from this versatile waste material!
