Non Balsa Deck Core Material Needed
I am in need of a material to re-core the deck of my
sailboat. It was originally balsa. I would like to purchase a substitute product from someone willing to sell their excess. I would need about 15 - 20 sq. ft. I'm in NY on Long Island and willing to pay shipping expenses. John |

Non Balsa Deck Core Material Needed
John,
One of the most famous builders - Lunn Laminates - used to be someplace on western LI. If they still exist and you can locate them, they might ba able to help. Balsa is still used because it is both cheaper and better that most of the foam produces out there. As long as the care is taken so it does not get wet enough to rot, it will last as long. End grain balse is actually pretty good at isolating water that does get in. Ureatane does saturate and delaminate just as easily - I know where there are several Boston Whaler boats you can get Real Cheap.
