Hi, and well done, have you found any problems at depth? as in the compression of the foam and loss of trim? i know you say buy the ocean ratted foam but is it good at depth?????
and Isn't that the same as Kevin's foam bottom thats in the works??
kind regards john routley
Hey John
I was told it was rated to full ocean depth. I really don't know what that means, I'm sure you can go very very deep before it crushes. I did a 370 foot dive with some other foam I had, and it CRUSHED! My friend which was right next to me used this foam and it looked perfect after our dive. I'm sure this wouldn't crush to any depths that I or you would go to. After that dive I purchase a block of syntactic foam.
When that foam crushed my trim wasn't to good. My kit got ass heavy. So the syntactic foam is the perfect solution.
I'm not sure but I believe this is the same stuff Kevin is working with. It's so expensive, so for his company to put a finished product out. Lets say fiber carbon cover or fiber glass cover to match our Boris. It would be super expensive to sell a finished product. But that's only a guess!
