    Urethane expanding foam injection... fix problems?

    Hi guys, I am about to start prepping my orange UL-1 for the real world water test. Plans are:
    -Turn Fin reinforcement via epoxy injection or Darin's way.
    -Larger fin mounting bracket from Kintec.
    -Cooling jacket from OSE or Kintec.
    -Plastic shear bolts for turn fin.
    -Urethane expanding foam injection.
    -Grimracer copper prop and bullet.

    Total cost should be around $50-60

    For those of you that have injected your hull with 2lb urethane expanding foam, has this solved the issue of stress cracks? I assume it would as the hull walls can no longer be flexed? Is the extra weight of the foam an issue or a benefit?

    Please let us know how the long term results are?
