I saw a blurb about using ping pong balls for flotation. For my particular application, it seems like a great idea. Since some of my great ideas prove out to be less than great, I thought I'd ask if anyone has used this method. I'd appreciate pros and cons. From my standpoint, pp balls are light, durable, not messy, don't rot or absorb water and take up a lot of space. I have found a source for them and even after shipping to Alaska, they would be much less costly and a bunch less labor intensive than foam of any kind. Thanks in advance for any assistance!
