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? |
