    What foam do you use in your hulls?

    I am looking for what I can get in Canada easily.

    Thanks.

      Pool noodles are a common flotation item used

                      Is that what its called "low expansion foam" ?
                      How much room do you leave and is it water proof?

                      I tried some Dap tex plus, in my MM and the water took it all out!
                      and the can says Superior Water Resistance!

                          I use the packing foam from Network Servers. I just cut the shape I need. It's almost the same as pool noodles, only stiffer. At least it looks the same. It has proven to be waterproof and floats very well.
