Foam insulation board claims to be easy to cut. It says right on the board, usually. But when someone saw me cutting thick foam boards in the Home Depot parking lot, he said, “You’re a braver soul than me!” In this blog post, I’ll show how to cut foam insulation board with simple and very inexpensive hand tools, and minimal mess. The best way to cut foam board even allows you to cut it right in the parking lot, so the foam will fit in a small SUV.
Thin foam board will cut with just a utility knife, but you can easily cut the thick 2-inch boards, even with just simple hand tools.
