Has anyone used corecell A500 planking instead of wood frames.
and does anyone how many pounds per square inch they
could take. I have to work on replacing planking and framing of the wall.
Could it take that weight?
John :confused:
What wall?
What planking?
Dang! I ran across a guy's site where everything was corecell, even horizontals, maybe even the face frames. It was a gutted 25' from the 70's. I'll look to see if I made hard copies. Maybe a combo of marine ply and the foam core sheet would work out pretty good. What's the 'bread' of the A500 sandwich???
I checked and discovered A500 is all foam, no skin. About $185 retail 4X8 1/2" sheet. It's not a stand alone material. Should be perfect for deck recoring. The guy above was using a sandwich material that may have had a phenolic or formica type surface, hard and thin.
Go to Noah's marine supply it is $15.48 for core cell they have a surplus
of 48"X23

I was thinking of using polyester and mat rather than installing wood. The Polyester and mat would be the bread and the core cell would be the
ham and cheese. :D Doing the layup outside the boat and then installing
it like frames.
