Title: where to buy the rigid foam for filling
Post by: notnilc20 on December 10, 2012, 11:21:42 PM

Hey there,

I have seen shows where they use a two part foam and catalyst that expands and when it cures it is rigid to where you can sand away or cut to shape.  Where can you buy this foam?  I know about the spray kind, but I'm looking for the kind you can pour.  THanks.

It says "Unlike polyester foams, polyurethane foam is compatible with both polyester and epoxy resins".  Does that mean that you can lay fiberglass over it without having to paint it first?  Thanks.  Jim
