i used to run the foam department for 1/2 million $ sport fishers. the trick is to keep the foam resins around 72 degrees for as long as you can,( store and mix if you can) the cold and speed buy time to flow before the rise, power mix like hell, and pour fast. there are some that snear at cutting closed cell foam, but the way you resealed seamed effective. great job man.n

I found an electric drill with a small plaster mixer on did a great job. I had a bucket of water to spin the mixer in to clean it, it worked well.

I am restoring my mfg gypsy 15' and am at the stage of installing a pvc drain pipe, pour foam and pvc board stringers any advice for me?

Thanks for sharing. What do you do with the waste pieces ?

Good video, but I was hoping to get an idea of how much it expands, to determine if it's worth my while for a different project. I would have loved to see an after photo of that first test section!

Where to buy the foam kit from

Why not a closed cell foam water proof 100% rot proof , also if the compartment is air tight it has the same Buoyancy without foam .? Great job 👍

Cool but why?

Wear goggles….that foam stuff in your eyes will irritate. Thx for video, very helpful.

I wouldn't recommend 25 seconds of mixing or using a stick, should use a power mixer and mix for minimum 45 seconds
