ccrick,
I have a couple questions for you.
1. What type of foam did you use?
2. What thickness and density did you use?
3. Who did you get your foam from.
I am finding it difficult to find good info on foam coring.
Thanks for your help.
Wondering how to post images or maybe change your avatar or maybe something else?

Re: 79 Vector Recore / Restoration
We are currently trying to calculate the amount of foam we will need for the core. We will be using Airex 5 lb/ft3 (density) PVC foam core. It comes in 1/2" thickness with sheets of 24" x 42" . How many sheets do you think would be necessary? It seems like the vector's core is narrower than other hydrostreams. Also, my brother doesn't want to mess with any core under the bow. I think it makes sense to do it. Any input on this?
