How much do you need? Would the residuals from the Europa kit suffice? I expect many of us have leftovers . . .

Blue foam i believe is known as xps ...this is available at the big home improvement stores here in the usa.

Can anyone confirm this? 

I have used this for small project like air scoops and seat supports and it certainly seems close to the europa supplied blue foam.

Will,



Yes, dense styrofoam is something you can get at a hardware or home improvement store in the USA.  Extruded polystyrene insulation (XPS) is manufactured using a process of extrusion, and has a closed cell structure. As an example, Dupont Styrofoam™ Insulation (Blue Board) is a nonstructural, rigid board insulation manufactured of XPS foam. Since it is insulating material for buildings, you can buy it in bulk - truck (or lorry) loads if you’d like.



All you need is some foam dense and rigid enough to hold the shape you want, and to be smooth enough so the resulting fiberglass surface will be smooth too. 



XPS should work.



However, if you want, you can also get styrofoam from places like Aircraft Spruce, but it is a bit pricey. They have large cell and small cell versions of the stuff. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/categories/building_materials/bm/menus/cm/foam.html (They probably just buy it from Home Depot and mark up the price.) 



I would expect the folks at Aircraft Spruce could ship it to the UK, but I don’t know for sure.



For what it’s worth, I have some leftover chunks of blue foam, but I am in the USA.



Regards,

Jeff W. 	  Quote:
