Portable Mini Vocal Booth

Step 4 Cutting & attaching the foam

Draw lines with the marker to guide you before cutting the foam

We now have 3 pieces of foam. Two even arms and one short middle part. Staple and/or attach the foam with bolts. Do not attach the foam to the middle part just yet.

Try double faced tape, maybe up a grade from carpet tape, but I'm sure carpet tape would be acceptable. 3m makes a great tape called VHB for very high bond. Great Instructable!

The project (and the idea) are great, but why bolts? It looks stupid to do so. What's the problem with glue? Not criticizing (yet) but I didn't really get it.

I choose bolts, so i can take it off. You can do it permanently with staples. Foam + glue is no good imho. Adhesives tend to work less good with structures with air holes

Humm, I get your point. There are accoustic foams, however, that comes "ready to glue", you just have to peel a plastic cover. And they´re cheap.

(Again, I'm not criticizing you. I just thought it was valid to bring the attention of readers to this. Your project is great, cheap and simple, like all good ideas seem to be, and I'm doing one myself for a school movie project I'm involved with now).

When a product is designed to work with glue its logicall to use glue. But again, glue is permanent (until it peels off, which renders it useless most of the time) I think the foam you link to will be more expensive then isolation foam. When in a construction like this i wouldnt spend too much money the foam. Good luck with the project! thats why i posted it here, so people can put it to good use.
