Brief Description:  Expando foamo

This last week I literally ran out of X-30 foam right after the first application which, of course, wasn't enough to finish the job... frustrated. I had to switch my approach which turned out to be ok but I knew that I'd need more for the top of the cowling. SO, I went to order more X-30 from ACS and couldn't stand the price tag. I started looking around for alternatives knowing it would only be used as a mold and found a much better alternative. Polymer Planet sells a 1/2 gallon kit that sets up slower which makes it much easier to work with yet at 1/2 the cost of X-30. Can't beat that. And it sets up just like X-30, so yes I won't be spending $$$ on X-30 any longer :)
After filling the lower radius area to learn the product I mixed a large 1/2qt batch and filled the top cowling area. It actually needed a bit more but after a couple rounds, I was ready to pull the tape off and start carving. I was able to get a good start on the shaping before calling it a night, but should have it finished off and wrapped in glass by tomorrow night :) And my gosh does this cowling look fast>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
