In no way denigrating any body else's contributions, if it's good enough for Mike to attempt a standie, it's good enough for me. There's still a lot I need to re-read (and I can all ready see things that need tweaking in my design); but it looks do-able. Even though I am in one of those "M" states, no 2" foam available at the obvious sources. The search is afoot.
somewhere in the big thread i "think" it was talked about using 2 pieces of the 1" foam. you could probably just tape it on the sides to keep it together til it is glued and covered. i am not sure i would glue the 2 together only because of the expanding glue issue. that would make the 2 pieces space apart of each other. you could wrap with the canvas/t2/3 completely. then on the final stages of the skinning you would cover as normal. that would give you 2 layers of canvas. should be pretty strong. plus that would leave you with the inside already precanvassed. but please i am only speculating, so test first.
is a shame us foamies don't live closer to each other, we could order a palette of this stuff and share.
