I am building a boat with a foam hull, and I need to know if this stuff will eat at the foam or not?

Our 300/21 epoxy has 100% solids with no solvents. It will adhere to polyurethane foam, polystyrene, and Styrofoam without dissolving the foams. Thank you.

It would not take the place of fiberglass but if you have small places that are leaking it would seal it. My boat is still leak after three years.

watch the type of gas you use I've had no problem with mine I get my fuel from the marina because of no alcohol in the fuel it will gum up the carb

I don't think so - it is foam and would be ruined by cutting, sanding or any sharp tool.

I doubt it. If it does, you won't notice it. Concerning foam to fill up holes/space, you can use any foam. I prefer foam without sticky backing. I use a flat head screwdriver to get it in the small spaces.

Yes. I use it to keep mold from forming on my 25 foot sail boat. But it does generate heat so you will need to take that into consideration.

Just wait it might take a few hours to start making foam. Set it like the package says, and wait for the foam to build. It will take some patience to see results but it will work great.

I recommend washing with water, a sponge and a little bit of soap. Do not use chemicals like Lysol, it will deteriorate the foam.

This stuff works great on our Cobalt hull. Our boat spends a few days in a fresh water lake and gets really scummy yellow. Just put it in a spray bottle (wear a mask and gloves) spray it on the hull in small increments scrub lightly with a sponge (mine is attached to a long handle) then hose off. It's like magic!

Unfortunately no, the two parts must be mixed together for the chemical reaction to work. it is the catalyst (part B) that causes the foaming and expanding reaction with (part A). Also there is a byproduct of heat that comes from the reaction so please allow for that the dissipate in the area you are working with.

From what I have read on their website, you would need to clean off all the paint to bare aluminum for it to be permanant. It works great on the bottom of my boat, but I was down to bare metal.

According to the instructions, it should only be used for marine batteries when off the boat. If operated in a confined space it could cause an explosion.

You're going to have to apply them carefully using a heat gun. Unfortunately, the way the boat is textured, they won't stick well without heat.

This stuff fills 1/2 cubic feet, do the math, as your question makes it a bit hard to tell, however check a marine hardware website like West marine, you'll pay more but it might be worth it,I cant say this stuff is up to use in boat conditions(mold, salt, sun, and higher value). Don't skimp on boat maintenance, pulling this stuff out if it didn't work would be a annoying. If the space is reatcangular mostly, you can jsut measure depth of fill, legth and width(missing from your data) and that get you your volume, if that area is triangular wedge, divide that math by 2. If its more curved and complex either overestimate or do calculations based on measuring how much water it takes to fill. Also assume this stuff wont rise perfectly so subtract a 5% from that 1/2 cubic foot to be sure.

I can only answer for an older boat - it worked very well. If you have oxidation, I'd say yes.

I painted the lower unit of my outboard motor with it. It is in salt water very often and so far after 6 months of use it is holding up very well. Is it toxic to fish? Who knows.

I've mounted to a fiberglass top and it work great...not sure it would work too well on foam, it's basically super glued on.
