Looking for ideas on what foam coring product I could use to make a
dodger hardtop.

A guy in the marina recently cold molded one out of door skins wood
and epoxy. Seems to me that making a male mold and heat draping some
foam or something would be a better approach than driving and removing
3000 staples.

I'll be using 1" Divinycell.

1) Build a male mold using a frame and battens to get the shape, or a door
skin, then cover with plastic sheet..

2) Attach Divinycell with low cost deck screws from the inside. (Weight the
foam down to conform while attaching screws.)

3) Glass the outside.

Remove screws, lift from mold, then glass the inside.

Fair out as necessary.
