Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics
OK , here is my very unscientific exspearament . I have been soaking 2 pieces of foam and a piece of seacast in a mosquito larva hotel for over a month or so. The smaller piece of foam was the factory foam that was taken out of the gunnel area . I assume a 2 part expandable pour in foam. The larger piece is reg great stuff foam from a can.
I cut the pieces in half as even as possible and squeezed as much water out as I could until it stopped dripping from my hand .
As you can see the great stuff can foam absorbed less water than the factory foam.
On another note the can foam seemed to float much higher in the water than the other.
Then I dried the surface of the seacast and cut a slice off and I can safely say it absorbed zero water. It has been in the water ever since I poured the transom .
I know this is a silly exspearament but I still found it interesting .
I also decided to paint the waterproofing paint on the seat backing after I glassed it just for the heck of it.
