I'm thinking it may be my best bet as a core that needs to be shaped. I know I'll have to drill it. What else do I need to know that is different from a cloth or honeycomb based core?

You could go for polyurethane foam as a core as this is far easy to shape, the choice is yours! remember though the strength of a core is the sandwich itself and not the core material used! Hope this helps! Kind Regards The Fibreglass King
