Im bringing this post from the dead.

Where did you guys get your 2part foam from? I didn't think it would cost this much just for foam...

1/2 Gallon kit = $28

:cat37:

 

[onesojourner]

well it does take a long junkin time to dry. but once it finally cures its good stuff.

got to use the fast cure... it's dry in minutes and retains all the plyability(sp) and strength

5200 is expensive and doesn't keep oke:

5200? I will try to find some today after work. I dont want to do my foot holds at this minute, but must cause next weekend will be a holiday, and I want to work on my subs and super biffs, (I mean barrel rolls) for the heffers on the jettys and beaches, fat beaches lol.

I feel I'm doing pretty good so far, I got some carbon fiber foot holds off PWCtoday for 80 bucks shipped, and my B stock for 36 shipped. I have every thing I need except for screws and epoxy.

Without starting another thread, what density foam is reccomended? 2, 3 or 4 LB??? I have searched here for an hour and I cant access PWC from work. I need to get this stuff ordered.

 

[cambo au]

4 LB foam

Thank you Mr Time:cool2:

Some say 2LB while others insist on 4LB.
I split the difference and went with 3LB.

 

[Kennay]

Wouldn't 4lb be denser, thus more resistant to water logging?

Why would anyone take a chance and go with 3lb when this is what keeps your boat afloat .Remember if your boat fills with water this is what keeps it from sinking to the bottom .For a few pennies more you will be sure your boat won't sink .
4lb for me .
