Ethafoam is not closed-cell and depending on the density you use, it can
absorb quite a bit of water. The lower the density, the more this is an
issue. The 2# and to some degree the 4# density are not well suited to a
wet environment. The heavier 6# and 9# densities don't absorb as much.
The difference is due to the smaller pores on the denser foams.
Interesting. It's stamped "Ethafoam" on the side. It truly does appear
to be closed cell, but I have been wrong before, just ask the wife.
I'll take a test piece and soak and see what happens.
