Z Zuka Hunter Nov 27, 2009 #2 Simple Rip out the styrofoam peice and boom you got a dome, If it needs persuasion use a knife
Tora Rall New Hunter Nov 27, 2009 #3 it seems to need a lot of persuasion. But i'll keep trying. Thanks
S Saz Hunter Nov 27, 2009 #5 The foam is glued in with hot glue in several places. you may need to cut into the foam with a craft knife, it needs to be a sharp blade, once you have enough cut off you should be able to pull the rest out.

Tora Rall New Hunter Nov 28, 2009 #8 Thanks for the advice. I got it out already. I had to cut out the sides before the middle came out easy.

Tora Rall New Hunter Nov 29, 2009 #10 I had to rip out the foam to make my bucket. With the foam in, it was too small.
Tora Rall New Hunter Nov 30, 2009 #12 Thanks but I already got it out. Working on a new and improved bucket now and it already looks great.
