Foam-filled mast
I did it because I was going insane from the constant chiming noise something inside the mast was making snip styrofoam peanuts. Bob Swarts That makes sense ... and I suppose foam would have solved that particular noise problem. A very long application tube would be required initially I would think, to be withdrawn as the mast was filled, to ensure complete filling. But "Rob or Karen" did then say just to plug the mast. Home Depot here sells what's called Hotstuff (I think) foam in aerosol cans for home insulating .... but I don't know that it would provide the desired waterproof/airproof seal. Easy enough to find out though I guess ... plug the mast, head out to deep water and chuck the mast overboard ... "Rob or Karen" ... let us know how that works out :-) |
