Assuming this is a spray-in foam designed to withstand regular exposure to brine, it sounds like the perfect stuff to fill the crannys of the bow and stern in my surf kayak, the ones I can never quite fill with float bags. >> That would have been me, Phil. It's a stock item in most boat store chains, and it's designed to resist salt water. It <is> perfect for the applications you suggest, but read the labels carefully. This stuff expands <a lot>! You put it in your bow voids wrong, you might blow the bow right off! But, used correctly and carefully, it's great for kayaking applications. A little breakdown as time goes by, but it's worked for me so far. Sorry I can't give you brand names --- didn't save the cans. West Marine had, as I recall, about three different brands, and they all seemed about the same.
