Hello Tom

Getting some good replies here. Where are you? Unless you are Okkie
Wunderslug, in which I am sorry........for many reasons.

(1) A centre well is not necessarily "light duty"
(2) Use only structural foam. Not urethane
(3) Ever tried rowing a 4' by 10' panel?

I'd like to build a 4x10 fiberglass on foam core panel. Medium to
light duty cover for a center well. I plan to sit/row on top of it
and use it as a roof for a canvas cabin. Can I use the blue or pink
closed cell foam from home depot or do I need special foam.

I realize I can order end grain balsa or specialty foam but the home
depot stuff would be a lot more convenient and I'd like to keep this
experiment cheap. Will the expoxy/glass stick and will it have the
properties neccessary to function in this capacity?

Thanks in advance.

Tom
