So, I'm building up the top of my steel bumper to have it blend smoothly over the hood. This part will be used to pull a mold, which will be used to make a CF 1 piece front end for my race car.
I've got a 2" section of styrofoam on top of the steel bumper and need to attach another 1/2" of foam to it and then seal it up. I have a fiberglass repair kit and the epoxy that came with it just eats the styrofoam. Any suggestions? |

wax paper over the foam or plastic wrap (check to see if the epoxy eats the plastic wrap first). The epoxy won't stick to them but it won't eat them either.
