And you might also want to keep a lookout for "bell bits" or "aircraft
drill bits", most of which are 18" long... you can do about 20-30 cups
at a time that way.  Don't forget to do it in a well-ventilated area...
burning or hot styrofoam isn't particularly good for you.  Putting a
fan where it blows any fumes away from you works quite well.
