Dave Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 The foam should be available from any hardware or home improvement store. Dave.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 CorZette, are you still in Japan? If not, go to Home Depot because they should carry it. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 FOAM PROBLEMS: I SEEN PLENTY OF PROBLEMS USING FOAM BETWEEN THE FENDERS. IT WORKS OK WHEN NEW BUT WHEN IT GETS OLD, IT WILL SEPERATE FROM THE FENDER AND ALLOW WATER IN. WATER WILL BE STUCK BETWEEN IN POCKETS BETWEEN THE FENDER AND WILL RUST, RUST, RUST,RUST AND RUST. GET THE PICTURE, ASK A CONTRACTOR, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WATER GETS INTO THE FROM INSULATION BETWEEN THE WALLS. MOST USE FIGERGLASS SHEETS AS THEY WILL ALLOW DRIANAGE. I HOPE THIS SUGGESTION HELPS.

deMideon Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Another thing you may want to consider is the structural foam available from auto body supply stores. This stuff won't hold water (closed cells) and is made for use in cars, unlike the stuff from Home Depot. I am planning on getting some myself to fill all of the empty spaces in the spaceframe to help add stiffness to the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Double what Sunny said. I filled in the quarters on blueovalz (about 5") with the minimally expanding foam. Then undercoated it. A year later, the foam had developed spaces .060"-.100" next to the confining sheet metal and the fiberglass too. I simply filled these with a sealer and re-undercoated it all again. So yes, this stuff will shrink in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 Guys foam insulation for cars or anything for that matter is OK as long as its stationary. When you start driving it around. The chance that you may stress it (like for use to add for stiffness)may cause it to sooner or later break up. I have heard more than once in my young 46 years. Don't put foam in cars!!!!!!Besides causing leaks when (notice I say when)it breaks up you will discover rattles where you never had any before! Just my opinion.

Len Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 But if you must; I obtained my poly foam from Lowes and Home depo (I just put in a Garden window for the wife). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deMideon Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 From what I understand the foams available from Home Depot etc are open cell and will absorbe water etc... They just aren't made for our application. Here's a link to the stuff that is. Quite a few different kinds too! http://www.autobodysupply.net/duramix_foam.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
