    I understand what your trying to do, Altho chemical solvent works, isn't the most piratical approach for recycling. Grinding the polystyrene into a fine consistency and applying mild heat and pressure you can reform into a block into a structure, without adding solvents and creating a napalm fire hazard. sculpting the block into a boat or kayak for example, utilizing 10 layers of latex paint and woven fiberglass/resign you can create a very lightweight and strong water craft. At very minimal cost the only other practical use is for this polystyrene is sculpting and add fiberglass. because the water proof and lightweight nature

      I understand your comment. We perform the process only in our factory. We are triying to look for another more environmentally sound proces. But there are hughe amounts of this material to be used in "Kayaks". See this link 1drv.ms/u/s!ArsgsgFr_2mzml0hcXkvIrltr4m_?e=Bc5gc5
