Hi Graham,
Not stabilising doesn=92t sound good. Seems like using good old blue
foam might be the better way to go, and bog it in with micro. It is a
frustration that you can=92t poor in a liquid that sets. I could always
use plaster ;-)

outweigh scraps, glued it in the end, filled the gaps and 2 layers of
BID - Bobs your uncle.

I would guess it is not suitable. Tends to have quite large voids left
in it after it has gone off. It also tends to keep expanding so very
difficult to judge how much to put in.

that I intend on placing over the flap cross tube and re-rigging the
wings, then filling the gap ideally with expand foam or something
similar, shaping it, and then glassing over it, with flox corners and 2
plies of BID. Has anyone used expand foam to shape things as it is a
deep closeout now with the flap extensions on them, and to make up foam
inserts would be a bit of a disaster. I tried some expanding foam today,
upside down as instructed, and disaster. It managed to exude around the
base of the wand, not down it into my dummy setup, the inside of a
tissue box. So, I have a puddle of expanding cell foam on my bench that
I can now see if it is sandable and shapeable, or not.

seems wise to fill it rather than have a chamber of air, requiring
venting if I just create a wall at the end of the closeout, somehow. Any
tips??
