Hey all

I'm designing a hard top dodger for my catamaran see

http://www.psychosnail.com/blog/post...ni-hard-Dodger
.aspx

Was wondering if any of you have experience working with Last-A-Foam
as a core using hand lay up?
Is this a good material for hand layup, any gotchas or
recommendations?

I had my soft dodger converted to a hard dodger by a friend of mine in FL.
He used the original stainless for the soft dodger as the frame for the
hard dodger. This was welded to keep it rigid. The top and the bottom are
1/8" fiberglass sheets and the interior is honeycomb. The whole assembly
was Awlgripped to match the non-skid. We constantly get complements on the
construction. However, Erik said that he would never build another one as
it was a royal pain...
