| The top I described has no foam core. It depends on the tubular frame for support. If a core is used it would be bedded in right after removing the peel ply. The inside finish would then be one 1-1/2 oz mat and the 10 oz cloth. You will still need a support frame of some kind to attach the top to. In your case I presume a curved surface which in itself is strong. A frame is still needed though. |

| Wellcraft, It's hard for me to believe there is no foam in PR. check further. If you find liquid 2/3 # density foam you can make a tray from 2x4s and poly to pour a bunch. after it gets hard you can slice it as you want. |
