Hi Allen, Danny Livingstone from Sasolburg, South Africa, build his entire KR2 using this foam wherever foam was required.
His wings, even before finishing, were the smoothest unfinished wings I've ever seen on any KR project. I do not know if Danny still monitors this forumn, but he has a web site and probably an e-mail address for more information. Contact him, as it definitely can be done and with certain advantages.

Hot wire cutting requires only light sanding with 220grit to remove the hairs and requires no micro filler." Allen, I have used this foam for non structural components like fairings, turtle decks, etc. and it works fine for that. However, I haven't used it in any structural locations and unless someone else has and has been flying for a while I wouldn't recommend it. The biggest problem with it is the care that is required while handling it. It is easily dented. Lastly, if by "filler" you mean micro-slurry, any foam that is cut needs to be sealed prior to glassing.
