    Corafoam Sign Making

    This is my first venture into sign making using Corafoam and wanted to draw upon the expertise on this forum for some advice. I have purchased a 4' x 8' sheet of 1" thick #15 Corafoam. These are some of my questions/concerns.

    1. Can Corafoam be painted with latex and/or oil based paints?
    2. Is Corafoam strong enough to make a free hanging sign ( 20" x 30") and if so, what type of hooks, screws or bolts are recommended?
    3. Associated with the previous question, can you drill holes int Corafoam to pass bolts through?

    Thanks in advance for any help...

    Im following this thread for any information I can learn, but I have a question for transformer82, your post was a little hard to follow without punctuation. Do you mean yes you can, no solvent paint will hurt it. Or did you mean. No, solvent paint will hurt it?

    Thanks
