One of the Good things to come out of this PB project is the chance to use some really Big pieces of Bead board foam ... Not the usual extruded foam we’re all used to , and seemingly available for a Lot less coin than the blue or pink ... I was concerned about the sanding /shaping process , thinking I’d pull the beads out instead of just sanding .... I was Wrong ...
The bead board sands much like the extruded foam , no bead pulling , and I was able to achieve a Nice Smooth surface using a belt sander and a long flat sanding stick ... Pretty easy
... So now I’m fully confident that the beadboard on the FoamStream will work out just fine ...
One thing we found out quickly is to
put the dust bag on the belt sander .... without it was like Snow ... getting everywhere...
With it was no problem , except having to empty it often ... Sanding any foam is sure Messy !!! No way around that except proper dust collection ... or doing it at somebody else’s house ...
