Good point Peter. We were discussing the area directly under the WAF. For sticking foam to wood, the wood must first be coated. My procedure is to brush on a coat of resin where the foam will be attached, use your squeegee to remove all but the lightest coat, putting the excess back into the mixing cup then mixing the excess with micro and with this, butter the foam where it contacts the wood, then pin in place. An alternative to the buttering step, is to run an even bead of minimal expanding foam along the edge of the foam board and pin in place against the still wet resin. The later method worked the best for me. After sanding the finished glue joint, I found gaps here and there as well as air pockets in the expanded foam. These were squeegeed over with a dry-ish micro mix.
