        Cannot remember if I had a go at buying these before or not, but if you will ship to Canada I will take them.

              This foam is a good quality will expand 20 to 30 times it original state so you do the math if it is a 2lb density one cubic foot can keep 60 plus pounds from sinking. What Howard is selling should do two small boats 36 inch or less. I buy a 16 pound kit two 1 gal containers and it last quite long. I probaly did 8 boats 36 to 48 inches and still have more than half left. Once you use this you will never use pool noodles again. It also adds a decent amount of strength to the hull as well, and does not fall out like pool noodles in a bad crash ( split )

                Two part foam I and others have used - like that below - will shrink in the heat and suck the deck in. Not all foams do that. What about this stuff, any long term trials in hot weather?

                      Hey Howard no problem ! I was really just telling people how great thisnstuff really is. @ jay I use foam for a few years now and never had it shrink or deform anything you just need a good grade foam that is approved by the us coast guard that is recommended for flotation devices. But if people are worried about that problem I have a good fix for it. You take the plastic tubes that go over flouresent light bulbs and cut to length of the sponson. Apply a lit layer of grease/ oil to the tube and pour some foam in, and while expanding put that tube in. The foam will surround the tube but stick to the bottom, side , and top of hull while leaving a void in the middle. Once the foam is almost set slide the plastic tube out. This leaves a void in the foam for air to get in and escape while still adding a lot of strength along with enough flotation. I can promise you will have no problems with shrinkage. Another thing to do is spray the whole inside of the hull down wi a 3 in 1 oil before you pour foam in. this will cause the foam not to stick to the hull. ( this will not effect how the foam expands ) Now if it does shrink it does not pull the hull with it, and now can be removed if ever desired.

                        If you read Jay's thread he is bashing the foam brand in his picture and is asking a valid question of the foam you are advertising re read it again

                            I never had any problems with this foam and have been using it for years. With Chris's suggestions I think any shrinkage or expanding issues will be eliminated.

                              Yep. Fluid actually suggested steering clear of the foam he posted as it shrinks in the heat. He then goes on to ask a question regarding the foam you have.
