Spot on Deeks, Yeah thats what I use, well used to use haha. Ok mate well thats 3 people.

On a side note I would cap the length of materials at 103/104 cm, this keeps it within the 107cm limit for aus post, just to keep the shipping costs as low as possible

Adam - not sure where you are but if you're trying to go for a foam core you need something like Divynicell - Nuplex stock it and are in most states.  It's a much more complicated build process over timber veneers...

Oh ok 
There's a bump in the project haha 
How would I go about getting some of the proper foam off you if you have it?

Yes. That's not dense enough to distribute the forces from both sides. From memory it has a density around 25-30kg/m3. You want at least 80kg/m3.

You could try it but I would expect it to shear away from your skins pretty quick unfortunately. On the plus side that foam is great for making molds!

Comment by Adam Babic on June 14, 2014 at 18:33

I have got foam for it already just that extruded polystyrene stuff. Would you use something different?
