I also took a look at tis same pink foam. Cheap, good density, nice to work with. I even built some vacume bagged parts with it. I went to Eaa at Oskosh last year, and someone looked at my pictures and said "do not use this stuff".I went home and pulled up the manufacturer's specs on the net (lo

If NASA can't get its foam right on the shuttle what chance have we puddle jumpers?? I used the cheaper powdery refrigeration urethane foam on my turtle deck and it is behaving the same as Mark's, that is, the resin and micro soaked component is tearing away from the rest leading to bubbles. As

Also, be aware that any colour other than white, will give you many opportunities for blisters. When I had a dark primer on my plane and had it outside in the sun for only a little while, two large blisters formed. Since I have it painted white, no more blisters have formed. See N64KR at http:/

Serge A good fit is better, but the Flox epoxy mix will fill in the gaps well. Rough up the glass, paint on a norm mix of epoxy, vinyl ester ( what ever you are using) then mix the rest up with Cotton Flox, thick, so it will not run, and it should be OK. Phillip Matheson VHPKR Australia. mathes...
