Default Various 'Foams' as Structural Members


"Steve Lusardi" writes:

I have used foams for this purpose in the past and they all worked well

for
me, but the real danger is water/liquid intrusion. They all absorb to some
degree, which makes repairs impossible. In that light, any structure that

is
expected to maintain some element of value over time, should never be made
using any foam. Your call, my 2 cents.


And where did that come from?

Lonza, makers of Airex, for one, probably would take exception to your
statement.
