Looking for Perforated Foam Core
Looking for Perforated Foam Core
(OP)
Does anyone know of a company that sells foam core that already has holes? I talked to General Plastics, but they don't do it anymore.
I'm looking for PVC or Polyurethane in ~4lb density.
Also, do you know who has affordable scored foam?

Have you checked with Diab, some of their PVC foams are less pricey than urethane.

We're using an impermeable foam core and putting holes in it in order to get resin to the tool side. I did find one company that does it (Dyabgroup) but they have an 11 week lead time. Let me kno wif anyone else knows of one.
Thanks - Barry

Have you thought about putting your own holes in.
It is quite easy to take a large block studded with nails and push the nails through the foam at regular intervals.
I know this is a PTA but it can get you off the hook until your supplier can come across.

One of the suppliers had reccomended the studed board. That may have to be the next step.
Thanks.

Not sure who the manufacturer was.
Good Luck
Composites and Airplanes - what was I thinking?
There are gremlins in the autoclave!

If you want consistency you probably need to make an iron maiden and hit it all at once! Get a tetnaus shot LOL.

Holes in foam are not required. I do VARTM with Rohacell (Close Cell Foam WF) using large structures all the time with success. If interested drop a line

I found a company in NJ called mahogany that sold some decent stuff. The funny thing is the project is now dead (which I knew it would be) and I got a new job since then. Frankly, I've NEVER liked composites and am glad to be out of the field (no offense guys). It's too itchy, smelly, and such a pain in the ass to work with from both a design perspective and a hands on perspective.
Best of luck to everyone.
