Stylite Foam - Anybody Used This?
I'm interested in this foam board called Stylite, possibly for use in
GRP. It was apparently designed for displays/presentations/trade show kinda stuff but: it claims to be waterproof, fire retardant, rigid and dense enough to work with a router, and a 3/4" 4 x 8 sheet: --weighs a whopping 4.2 pounds --costs a whopping fourteen dollars --this ain't Airex. I originally came across the product when searching for something to use for panelling/flooring, not structure. Glass it, then vacuum bag veneer it, thinks I. The 1/2" sheets are 2.8 lbs raw. Seems like just the thing for building the interior of a multihull. Then I thought about building a canoe or something with it, just to see. For all I know the stuff melts into a gooey round ball when it touches rosin. Anybody tried it? -- Hoop The email address works |
