Comments about Jamestown Distributors Floatation Foam:

Did exactly what I needed, replaced foam floation that had to be removed to conduct repair. A little goes a long way, one issue with this product is determining how much is needed to fill a void. if working in small areas you needed to do in small batches.

Easy to use. Accurate 1:1 ratio mix is a must.
Mix it well, I mean real well, vigorously. The better you mix the two parts, the better it will expand. I mixed until it was about to expand out of the container, then poured.
I used it to replace the foam in the under floor side structure of my 18 ft boat. used 2ea. gallon kits.
I covered precut plywood boards w/6 mil plastic, poured in the void, and then and placed the boards over the void area. I sat on the boards, about 15 min. until the foam was fully expanded and hard. Pulled the boards up, Plastic will release from the foam. It filled the void and will provide support for the floor.
Safety: This stuff gets pretty hot when expanding. Remember to protect your eyes, skin and hair (I speak from experience). This stuff will not come off easily when dry.
Have Fun!

Product worked as described. It sorta grew into the Blob, but did what it was intended to do. Wear gloves if you need to get into a small place to pour it out.

The only directions for use I received was in this section from other users. But for that, the 2-part foam was EXACTLY what I was looking for, easy to use, not messy if you're careful, and filled the void in my boat perfectly. The 2 quarts filled expanded to approximately 18"x18", and I have a bit left over. Make sure you mix it well... expansion is slow and takes a bit of time, its not immediate. The more you mix it, the better it looks and denser the final stage.

This product is very easy to use, once you get the hang of it. I replaced the foam in the bottom of my 16 foot aluminum boat with this product. It can be very messy, it does find its way to the lowest point in the boat. I would recommend being careful with this product until you know how far it will expand. I would pre-cut the flooring for the boat before using this product so that you can place the new flooring down as you poor the product. It will hold up the flooring if the floor is not secured before it finishes expanding.

The warmer your ambient temperature is the better exspansion you will get. Mix 50/50 and pour.

I have a homemade houseboat with 2- 2'x4' x32'pontoons that I need to fill. Started with one bay just to try. Liked the product and I am going to continue. Also, had a leak---it seemed to have stopped after use.

This two part foam is awesome. I used it to fill in a void under my floor of my boat. Make sure you use a little at at time because it has the capacity to expand 10x.

used foam in boat voids for enhansed flotation. Just one note, You had better know where you want to put it very quickly after mixing, there is no second chance.

In searching for this foam I found Jamestown to be lower in pricing for a larger amount of product. All other companies who offered this same foam were higher in price for a less amount. [...] There was no direction in using the product so I contacted Jamestown who walked me thru step by step. Excellent customer service and I would not only recommend this product but recommend Jamestown Distributors when purchasing anything for you boating needs. I purchased a boat that had major water damage so I ripped out everything including the rooted wood and foam. I re-fliberglass and left holes to pour this foam into. The reason I am writing a blog because the directions: I used 8oz cups - 1 for part A and 1 for part b - stirred for 30 seconds mixing well - poured in and foam expanded to a very hard shell - worked great!

I make Halloween props and Very large ones too. when reinforced the product retains its shape well when used in a mold and paints over very well. I will be buying by the gallon during Halloween season.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Floatation Foam:

The floatation foam is easy to use but make sure you have a big enough hole to put it in because once it starts to foam up you could have a problem getting it in a small hole. Use good rubber gloves because you do not want to get it on you. Get everything ready to go together before you put the foam in so it will be trapped and forced to go where you want it to go. Make sure you know how much area you are filling because you do not want to over fill or it can do damage. You are better off starting with less and then adding more once the first pour has expanded.

Excellent price for this item, as compared to WestMarine and other suppliers. Two part floation foam is recommended by professional boat builders as the best material to meet USCG requirements. This foam resists absorbing water, creates a higher bouyancy per cubic inch than most other materials, and also helps strengthen the hull and deaden sound.In my project, two - two gallon kits was adequate to fill the below deck void space of my 18 foot Walk-Through runabout, single deep V hull.[...]

One fourth the price of competitors product. Installed under new boat floor to restore to factory specifications. Made my 70 mph boat floor and bottom solid as new. Deadens sound well.
