much more excess resin can be removed with the use of a vac bag.

damb, so you need a vac bag which then raises the price up quite a bit

Just be carefull as a lot of foam products do not have inherited strength properties. Most foams require a lot of glass and resin to make them strong.

I think that the expanding foam would be alright, but the problem with the FSM was that he didn't have holes in the foam for the resin to soak through as you would have for vacuum bagging I think that it would be best if you have it in a press or bag.

is it that extruded polythylene foam that you can get from insulation companies?

ye, that warped fsm!
do you know how it turned out in the end?
if not expanding foam, then where can you get that airex stuff people talk about, pvc foam?
wouldnt it be really expensive here,
like the aim would be to make it as cheap as possible without going into the structural integrity...

dude thats how most foamcore boards are built, lots of guys do it with evos, but not so much with expanding foam, if you have a spare board I suggest you try it.
was it the FSM or another board?
