"Balsa core" gets some bad press and I was interested in how it came into
boating, especially C&Cs.
After some research, I learned:
Making things with a core was first used by Egyptians three thousand years ago.
Veneers of precious wood over a core of cheaper wood extended the use of

I'd echo the recommendation to *not* use expandable foam in a core
repair. The characteristics of the material may seem similar to
end-grain balsa but crush resistance is very different, and additionally
it is difficult to get thicknesses, densities and full-surface bonding
"right".

Skip,
A few of observations:
1. It is unlikely that the brown film under your deck is core related. In
my own C&C Corvette that film was emanating from the micro-balloon based
fairing compound that was used to fair the underside of the deck, since,
like your boat, the Corvette does not have a hea
