well....if by "styrofoam" you mean only "the stuff that fragments into
beads at any provocation", then you're right.

Open cell, closed cell, EPS, etc, everyone calls it styrofoam (unless
you're selling the expensive kinds--static control, or flame
retardant, or milspec, or something--in which case you don't call it
"styrofoam" in front of the customers).  Comes in different densities,
etc.  By the way, you can get it in at least 10" thicknesses
(something like 10x24x96") from some industrial supply houses...CE
Thurston in my area (Virginia), I don't know how wide a territory they
have.  Or a marine supply house might call it "floatation baulks" or
"billets".

Of course, if you get it that thick, you won't be cutting it with a
hot wire.
