If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub. -
Closed cell and will not absorb water...I use that foam to also build the plugs for my fiberglass hulls...it cuts well with a radial arm saw, table saw, band saw or hotwire foam cutter. It is easily formed with a vertical bench belt sander can be painted with rustoleum non spray paint... Glues well with 3m spray adhesive and can be drilled nicely with a sharpened brass tube... It also is extremely strong when laminated with thin sheet grp and epoxy resin.-BGComment

Midwest Hobbies used to have a nice, white, closed-cell foam in sheets (pkg of 3), about 1' X 3' X 3/8". Very easy to cut, and great for those hulls with limited annular space. The late Dave Welch made excellent use of this foam in his Gato fleetboat endeavors. Might still be available through a website or hobby shop.Comment
