Reply to comment by strangebutalsogood in does anyone know how to trim styrofoam? by friggityfrogg

I've made a hot wire from a guitar string and a soldering gun. It worked really well actually.

I replaced the heating element (tip) with the guitar string and tensioned it with some screws driven into wood. I've seen this sort of setup used in scenic shops with lengths of 1x to hold the wire out so they could cut into huge styrofoam pieces that were as big as a car.
