Re: 2 part foam

A couple things to be aware of. <br />- DO NOT pour this foam into an enclosed space without providing pressure relief holes. It WILL blow apart anything that is keeping it from expanding.<br />- mix the foam close to where you will be pouring it. Once it starts to react, it happens quickly.<br />- wear gloves and eye protection. The foam sticks to EVERYTHING like you have never seen. Keeping this in mind, cover everything that might accidently get dripped on, splashed on etc.<br />- if filling a large cavity, do it in several pours. Thick sections or large volumes generate a huge amount of heat while curing.<br />- pour the lowest places first.<br /><br />Follow the mfr's instructions and you will find it easy to work with. Once cured, its easy to cut, sculpt and shape as required. Wear a dust mask if cutting sanding or grinding.

Re: 2 part foam

i'm doing the whole hull i was planning on the front first. cut with a hole saw and pour the foam thru just like i had seen on the forums here. it was a very good post. i already have 6 gal of foam that i hope is enough the boat will have a 35 gal gas tank thats about 67 in long so no foam in rear<br />i just hope it works out well. looks like i may have to drill and fill the stringers or replace them. the boat has been drying but the weather is all rain now so it waits
