Matt,?
Rick has a valid point. Foam-Cor has a ?tendency to warp. If there are enough vertical vs. horizontal, right angle formers, this may not be too much of a problem but why take the chance? As I said previously, 3/8" seems pretty thick. I'd suggest checking out some ship builds to see what others are using.

I have seen pieces of foam core warp almost into a tube, because of the paper ? Rick On Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 11:16 AM, Matthew Sparks <[email protected]> wrote: how Thick are those laminated formers? I am designing a ship and I specified my formers to be 3/8inch thick or 9.5 mm Simply becauase then I can lust laminate it to foamcore instead of building up from cardstock, Any opinons for or against foam core?
