If you intend to use this as a work float for topside work, then it's edges
can't be too hostile and might demand fendering. The styrofoam is pretty
good in this respect. For this purpose, I think i'd cut my sheet of plywood
4 to 6" in length and breadth, glue it to the block with a cheap
construction adhesive and call it done.

Talk about luck. I had been contemplating the purchase of a 4x8 block
of styrofoam to build a working raft so that I could work on my hull.
Today I walked out to my dock and lo and behold there was a new piece
of styrofoam, just the size I intended to buy. Now I would like to
know if anyone knows of plans or has suggestions of how to turn it
into a work raft. I guess one needs to keep the weight down so the
more I put on it (i.e., a sheet of 4x8 treated plywood on top and
plywood banding around the sides. Someone in this gorup must have
done this. How??? Thanks.
