A fantastic addition to your foam core series. Thank you! 👍🏻

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

Glad you enjoyed it Paul!

[@AppleZaider]

Great idea with the magnets!

[@RuijsNL]

Magnets is a cool trick, thanks for the series on foamcore im a complete noob but recently got into eldritch horror, really need an organizer and these videos gave me the tips I needed to get started!

[@mrchoochoohead9033]

i think a showcase video of your foamcore inserts for yoyr games would be amazing. it would give all of us some inspiration!!!

[@johnkelley9877]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing these great ideas.

[@Uleidiarmad]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

[@BgmGuitarist]

Alrigth Sidereal Confluence, I am coming for you! Time to get you organized!

[@MuztabaAhmed]

more of these please so satisfying to watch

[@sadnessinside123]

Well this tutorial has forced me to sell multiple plastic storage bins not required to store my boxes games. Love your videos. Thank you

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

Save on plastic - buy foamcore! :)

Sorry if this has been answered already, but how long does the glue take to dry, on average? I've been having a go myself and so far the walls haven't been holding together very well at all :(

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

White glue dries pretty quickly, but I always pin them as I glue them - it holds them in place while they dry. I then take out the pins when they're thoroughly dry, which is probably only 5 mins or so. It's also good to hold them together for a little while, pressing the surfaces together, until the glue' takes'. It should only take half a minute. Of course different brands of glue vary - just experiment and be patient!

[@RapidVisionLoss]

Great addition to the series.

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

Cheers!

[@jake7499]

Ah, good stuff. I have a few of my games organized this way because of your older videos. Such a good idea and well executed.

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

Thanks, keep on foamcoring!

[@mariasantosdelgadobarron6655]

Amo la manera en que todo encaja perfectamente en su lugar :0000

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

That's the idea! :)

[@gregl5774]

Nice videos (watched all of them) What kind of glue do you use? PVA? And what kind of pins ? Needles or small spikes, boils ? (Thank you my translator) Tk U

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

Hi - just PVA white glue and normal dressmaker pins.

[@gregl5774]

@@EsotericOrderGamers thx

[@chevalierdulys]

This is an exceptional tutorial. Gonna try do it for cards for shadows of brimstone. The problem is that they have almost a hundred variants of cards and tokens..

[@conorleyden9201]

If your board game box isnt big enough, could you make another box out of foamcore? Is it strong enough to be made into a box or just to be made into inserts?

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

It can reinforce the inside of a box, but I wouldn't make a box out of it as the glued joints wouldn't be strong enough. But then it depends how the box is going to be used.

[@salmanqaisar7377]

FANTASTIC video, thanks! What thickness is the sheet steel? Can we get it from arts shops?

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

I get it from a hardware store, Mitre10. It's about as thick as a sheet of thin cardboard.

[@salmanqaisar7377]

@@EsotericOrderGamers Sorry to be a pain, Peter, but could u kindly measure the thickness in mm please? Pretty please! I found a scrap sheet of steel at work. It is 2mm thick - is that too heavy? The game is The Gods War, dunno if u backed it on KS. The 2nd box is about L40 x W30 x H20cm

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

No worries at all Salman. 2mm is way too thick. The sheet I'm using is half a millimetre, maybe even a tiny bit thinner. It's like a piece of thin cardboard. Check out a hardare store to see if they have it - but make sure you don't get aluminium, which won't work with magnets!

[@Indra_P]

What is the other name for foamcore? Is it PVC foam? I cant find foamcore at my local store. What is the recommended thickness for the foamcore?

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

I've never heard it called anything but foamcore, sorry. 5mm thickness.

[@sicsided]

Foam board is what it was called at the craft store near me.

[@bartdevuyst]

Great video. I’m considering marking inserts thanks to your videos! Is PVA glue the same as regular white wood glue?

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

Yes. Get into it, it's easy! :)

[@mrchoochoohead9033]

what thickness are the magnets you use in this video?

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

6mm by 1.5mm. But the pulling power of a magnet varies a huge amount depending on its quality, so experiment.

[@RedeyeX23]

That's really fantastic, loved the steel box.i want to do this now . I'm wondering did you do inserts for Shadows of Brimstone ?

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

I did, but I spread it all out over both core boxes, the Caverns of Cynder box, and the Frontier box. Not much good me making foamcore plans when different people will have different amounts of content.

[@RedeyeX23]

@@EsotericOrderGamers totally agree , that game is a monster to organise...

[@greghopper9576]

What size magnets did you use for the miniatures and from what company? Thanks in advance.

[@YTEEsenior]

Do you know where to purchase foam core in Australia?

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

I'm in NZ these days, but check out art supply stores. I now buy it online, 5 large sheets at a time, from a NZ supplier called Gordon Harris. They'd be an online art supply store in Australia that sells it too, I'm sure.

[@Redskies453]

Officeworks mate. They should have heaps

[@Mcleody9]

Would love to see what you do for Batman Gotham City Chronicles

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

On it's way soon I believe.

[@undertaker343]

My stupid ass just got 3 aluminum sheets :P and my magnets wont stick ahha need to find steel

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

Don't worry my friend, I bought $230 worth of thin sheet steel from a supplier once, and then discovered it was some kind of non-magnetic variant. 😆
