Where can I buy this stuff in block form? I have seen the stuff in
places like Home Depot, but it was only 1in. thick. It certainly would
be much easier to buy a block.
Regarding pour in foam, I take some comfort from your comments, but it
still disturbs me that it will absorb water eventually. Presumably there
should be no reason that it should be a problem when being used for the
purpose of preventing the boat from sinking, after all an accident
shouldn't last more than a few hours or, hopefully, a few minutes.
Hardly time for the foam to absorb water. In your opinion, what is the
likelyhood of the foam drying out over time, (after being sodden), if
removed from contact with water?
Look forward to your reply, it will be interesting as always, I am
sure......
