Chris I used Divinylcell for the foam and Meury Enterprises for the resin (Ciba Geigy LC191). Both companies are in Sydney and familiar with aircraft/boat construction.
The foam is expensive but worth it as it doesn't powder like the cheaper urethane surfboard stuff. You can buy it in sheets with narrow 1mm grooves cut in it that allow it to be bent to shape to minimise sanding and wastage.
