If you are going to put this foam in something else, I wonder if that
expanding "Great Stuff" spray foam would be of help. (home depot,
lowes, etc).

If, for instance, you were thinking of putting your sheet in a hold or
something, you could spray this expandable foam instead.
I don't know if it 'likes' to be wet and turns to a sponge - but that
you could easily test for.

No, it doesn't (help/work well). Froth-Pak by Dow, or Fomo Hand-Foam, by
Fomo is closed cell and far cheaper for the volume needed. GS is open cell
and will absorb moisture readily, and be very expensive for any but crack
sealing.

I just went through this for my boat (not for floatation, but for
insulation, but the principle's the same).

From my notes:

froth pak 888-868-1183 option 2 local guy rep sez ok careful about
expansion http://www.dow.com/pusystems/product/fpport.htm will help you
calculate volume needs

fomo.com spray in, $42 for 2cf (where to buy?)

I wound up going with Fomo as it was available in larger (2CF rather than
only 1CF) small sizes, and cheaper, too.

Hi Skip
Thanks for setting that straight and doing the leg work -- I have been
wondering for a while if that stuff is a viable solution and clearly it
isn't.
