I found out polystyrene foam or what I had doesn't dissolve in acetone, but will dissolve in toluene. I made some polystyrene film by putting a solution of polystyrene in toluene on top of water in a pyrex dish and let it evaporate. It came out clear like Saran wrap except the edges of the film are thicker than the center.
