i sure hope you have fiberglass experience.......and plenty of it.

i would suggest looking into expanding foam as opposed to blocks. easier to shape and sand.

Just a thought. if you use the white foam, when your done pour laquer thinner on the foam to dissolve it if its difficult to remove. Thinner wont harm the cured resin.

ITCHY...... blewwwaaahh!!!!!!
sorry flash backs of past jobs.

Have fun.

Make sure the resin doesnt dissolve the foam that you use. If I remember correctly I tried to mix resin in a foam cup and it melted the bottom of it.
