Some additional thoughts on pour foam:

A little goes a long way- I usually mix 2-3 tablespoons of each part to make 
a batch. There's no harm in using too little as the stuff is very adhesive 
and additional pours will bond to cured ones. Poster board is another good 
dam material.  -Bill Wade

Subject: [LML] IV-P Interior Finishing

Lancair Builders,

I have a task that's been troubling me for several years now...at least I'm 
claiming this as the reason for flying, rather than finishing the interior 
of my airplane!

I am trying to make a "plug" in the shape of the front and back edges of the 
door frame/fuselage intersection. My intention is to use this to make a 
fiberglass molding that I can cover with headliner material like I plan for 
the rest of the fuselage inside top. I have tried to "carve" hard Styrofoam 
into a shape that will fit the door frame, but it's a three-dimensional 
curve, and I was not able to produce a satisfactory part from solid foam. I 
then  tried to use some "weather sealant" spray foam, after taping over the 
subject area. This was a TOTAL MESS--spray everywhere except where I wanted 
it. The foam that actually got near the right location dripped off before it 
became rigid. I have tried modeling clay...way too much required, and too 
difficult to work with...etc...etc...

Any ideas most appreciated on a way ahead...

Thanks in advance.

Bob
