i asked guys who do boats they told soric eat lot of resin and give very hudge weight. any link for 3d core? its same as soric?



Soric does have a larger resin uptake than closed cell foam but certainly nowhere near as much as the equivalent layers of CSM would. 3d core has less than Soric mainly because the material is different and the cells are bigger so the feed channels between each core are smaller that's why I suggested it.Wink
EC now do 3D core, have a look in the "core materials" section. 3D core is very similar in performance to closed cell foam but it will conform to curves better. That's what is was designed for.Smile
