I believe that is a closed cell urethane based foam you are speaking of?
They use it for making floats and deck blocks etc.  it is pricy but it works very well.

There is a foam that i use for making plugs for molds or a foam that you can fiberglass directly on to. It is a 2 part liquid. You have to make a oversize form of the part to be made or say a cardboard box. Put plastic inside the box, mix equal parts or liquid foam. quickly pour it in , you only have 40 seconds.  It expands to 30 times its size and hardens in half an hour. It can then be sanded and carved to any shape. Fiberglass  can be directly laid onto it. You can get it at fiberglass .com. It can be pricy with shipping though.    :LL:

Dog walks into a bar, orders a drink. Bartender thinks he will go along with the joke and says the drink will be $50, then mentions that they do not get many talking dogs at the bar. Dog says that he can see why at $50 a drink.

Always use stuff on an inconspicuous area.. Or a spare foam part.

Your not alone on the chemical destruction on parts though! Join the club!

Goodluck brother!

Im too impatient to have to trial test first. I just do and learn. if it turns out bad i just curse the world and move on.

Heads up: The "World" had nothing to do with your failure to try a test piece before you ruined your part.  It has been widely posted that you can't mix resin/gelcoat with foam although I do believe that there is a type of foam that will not react to resin.  Most posts say to paint the foam to seal it before applying layup fiberglass or gelcoat.  Hope that the next try goes better for sure.

It looks like he is cutting foam so yeah, it would be best to start over so he gets a dimensionally accurate piece.

cmarens, I hope you are joking about buying something from Rob. If you did, your money is likely gone for good and you will never see anything for it.

Negative. I like his videos because they look so good. Yet again, Enron had some pretty good investment packets too! If I were gonna donate to someone, I would donate to one of you that is actually building things!  ::beers

If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

It was styrospray1000. its a hard coat for styrofoam. I guess the hardcoat reacted with the gelcoat. Its disappointing since this is the last piece to the kit and i gotta redo it but it will get done..

You don't have to start completely over do you? Can you just sand the junk off and redo the finish on the buck? Stinks either way.

On the bright side, it could be worse. You could have ordered your parts from Rob.  ::tongue

What was the product they suggested? And what process did you use?
Just so we learn what not to use rather than make part 2.0
