Default easy way to get the paper off of foam

Hi I found an easy way to get the paper off of the dollar tree foam thay many of us use to make foam planes. You do not need to wet it, or heat it ....ect. just use a wooden dowl and roll it off. check it out here. http://youtu.be/3FnZu_5YcVQ if this dosnt work just go to youtube and type in dollar tree foam sort by... upload...date. Works fast and without a lot of problems. hope this helps. Richard

What i look for when I buy the foam is....how much is it compressed...some are compressed a lot (skinnier ones) . I stay away from the ones that look like there compressed a lot. I sort through them untell I get the better ones. Hobby lobby (craft store) will have sales every now and then. A buck a sheet. I sort through them and buy enough to last a while. Hope this helps.
