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? |

Cool...
I found this out: "Polyurethane foam can be covered in both polyester and epoxy resin. Some foams are dissolved by polyester resin, so if there is any doubt about compatibility test a scrap piece in the polyester. If the foam melts, repeat the test using epoxy. Epoxy does not usually attack most foams, but if it still melts it is necessary to find a different foam material." from this website: Fiberglast website |
