Just a minute!
Two-part foam is not necessarily a good solution either. Some of 'em will soak water, getting heavy and encouraging rot and mildew. They prevent access for repairs and wiring, etc. THey're not cheap, either. Have you considered inflatable items like truck tubes?

PPB are relatively fragile. 2 Liter Soda Bottles are cost effective. 2 LSB can withstand the temp changes here in New England. 2 LSB looses volume quickly under external pressure. Designed mainly for internal pressure. Both will degrade in direct sunlight. What will I do? More than likely I will fall in with everybody else and use 2 part. I'll just have to make allowances for moisture to be able to flow from bow to stern. With either of the other methods I would not have to do this. Thanks to all that posted. -- Tailgunner http://boat.nbrigham.com |
