Sorry about the post.

This is a greats site and one of the things that I like about it is the fact that there is a higher standard here. -Doug

Pink/Blue foam like the Home Depot or HDU's?

Laff Riot,
Spray Foam... at least thats the idea. Someday I hope to carve foam for marine applications. I have some goofy ideas about hydrofoils and have been dreaming about doing something for years. The computer case the guy posted was of hand carved packing foam. I am juiced to carve shapes and foam would be the fastest...

One of my suppliers, Industrial Polymers has some stuff you need to look at. I highly recommend this company.

http://www.industrialpolymers.com
Check out thier expanding hydrospan.

" When parts cast from HydroSpan™ are soaked in water they accurately increase in size 60%. By making larger silicone molds from the expanded HydroSpan™ , you can produce a series of progressively larger molds. "

For minimum investment you can create small scale master parts - scale them up - then use there spray foam series for the final.
