| sandwich method for subsequent foam replacement ? Hello, I am looking for a construction method that allows one to replace ,in case of need, foam in a fiberglass sandwich hull . This would be usefull for testing different foams for example . I thought one could just lay fiberglass on a thin sheet of wood forming the hull , then hoocking the foam to the wood sheet by nails or else one could achieve structural resistance and foam isolation from fiberglass .. Hints ? ![]() |

| The foam in sandwich construction is STRUCTURAL. It MUST be bonded to the two skins. Think how hard it would be to replace the center I in an I beam. Damaged areas can be cut out and replaced , should you destroy an area . FF FF |
