I want to make a foamcore panel and it needs to be very strong.

Q1: What type of foam should I use?

Q2: How do I calculate the resinamount?

Q3: Any ideas on how many layers of fiber i will need on each side?
Imagine the board to be 50cm wide and 150cm long, I want to be able to place 80kilos
on it. Is that doable?

I am interested in the same matter: to make sandwich panels (something  between 100mm x 100mm and 200mm x 200mm) combining two carbon fiber 1mm rigid sheets and one 5 mm Closed Cell PVC Foam in between. What "glue" to use in order to fix them?

Thanks.
