Piece of cake.

Then chase a ga-zillion little white bubbles all over the neighbourhood ;-)

Closed cell foam is way better, and can be used more than once.

Furring strips are a LOT cheaper than closed cell foam.

I think that's what's called 1x3 spruce strapping in this area.
When the plywood is cut it can be used for gunwales and frames.
I have two layers of it for the gunwales on the Dogskiff (photos on my
website).

Furring strips are rough cut pine and available here in the states as
either 1x2 or 1x3. They are dirt cheap.
