Foam for Inside Hull

[high510]

What do you guys use (here in the States) for the expanding foam to reattach the foam blocks to deck and hull inside a Sunfish? Thanks.

This is the right stuff. http://www.uscomposites.com/foam.html
Many brands. Available at most boat equipment supply houses.

Don't know what's available in other countries.

Thanks for the link. What weight would I use.

I've used 2lb density, but thought I'd go heavier if I ever saw it crush. So far so good.

I used the 4lb stuff (for setting fuel tanks and such) as I felt it would stand up to any pounding best. Get the quart size and only mix a total of about 2oz at a time. The the photo essay on Yahoo's Sunfish Sailor in the files "Foam Block Reset". It is based on the directions in Wind Line Sails "How-To" section.
