Re: floatation foam math

You can but the pink board or the blue board and not use the two part......

or search this forum for foam tips.

never thought of the foam board that's a bunch cheaper than the marine foam i could cut it to fit inside my storage box's to add a little extra safty. i don't think the blue or pink foam absorbs water ether am i right on that ??

Yup people have used it here..... and pop bottles.... and those kids swimming noodles that the dollar store sells. Once you get the hull opened up there are many solutions ;)

Sorry to barge in, but, Bob, any idea on the # density of the blue or pink stuff?
