Re: [Paddlewise] closed cell foam

>>>During an ACA adaptive paddling class we used a serrated (not the real fine

"toothed" type) bread knife to carve closed cell foam.  Worked really well.  



Now my wife keeps asking "Whatever happend to the bread knife?"  I don't dare

tell her it's with my kayak fitting tools--I'll just get her/us a new one for

the kitchen next time I go to the grocery.  Thanks for reminding me of
this.<<<





An electric carving knife also works well for this...  I'll use one, then
Surform gadgets for final shaping, contouring, etc.  Then a heat gun for
smoothing it all done and getting rid of the fuzzies.  --On minicell; don't
think this would be a good idea on ethafoam.
