A trick I learned from Doug Laber of the Great Midwest Yacht Co (Thistle builder) is that you can paint crumbly Styrofoam with latex house paint to give it a relatively tough skin...
I don't think I would do all the pieces because of the added weight (not to mention the labor), but if there are some chunks in places that are susceptible to damage..... Tod _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
