Thanks Larry. I have been playing with the KR2 for 25 years and recently decided to um... finish. I am going to do some "mock up sections" and test the strength against the "normal" foam. What kind of foam are you using?

I am familiar rigid foams. My question is how much rigidity of the foam is actually required, once the carbon fiber or glass is cured. The minicell foam is semi rigid, flexible, can't be broken and springs back when compressed. It has 2/3's of the compression strength of the same 2# polystyrene (pink stuff they by at Home Depot) >VUlinski +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I'm afraid you're on your own here as far as I'm concerned. In my sixteen year exposure to KR's, I've never heard of a "semi-rigid" foam being used. I'm certianly no expert so don't let my answer halt your research.
