Has anyone here ever built an kayak or canoe from polystyrene coated with cloth and Epoxy? I'm in the process now and find that even one layer of cloth and epoxy It has been discussed here before, also foam core plywood construction. I looked at for light weight construction but from information posted here calcualted that it would be heavier than plywood, ie no weight savings. It is not so good for small boats but becomes practical as the size of the boat gets bigger. There used to be photos on the Internet of a rough experiment made of rigid foam board foam covered with thin plywood to protect the foam. There was also a small sail board made of foam with no exterior covering on the market. It might be possible for a DIY'er to make a mould and pour in liguid foam to make something like that. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
