.....maybe my "foam is difficult to work with" comment was a mistake.

But I do like plastic honeycomb core a lot better than sheet foam, in
general,
for a variety of reasons. Substantially better compression strength
and durability is one such reason. Honeycomb core is easier to dovetail
together too, in order to make extra-wide or extra-long panels, prior
to
the actual layup.

For panels used to make seat tops and/or dory bottom panels,
an equivalent amount of fabric and resin, applied over honeycomb core,
makes a stiffer, stronger panel than the same layup applied over foam.
......in my experience anyway. I'd call it better stuff.

When it comes to hull foam, there is Airex and foams that when they
grow up want to be Airex, IMHO.

Same can be said about Divinycell for decks.

After that, it is a whole different world.

BTW, must admit that I'm not up to speed on CoreCell as of yet.
