Re: expanding foam for top bow repair

[Beamonk@aol.com]

I have used the great stuff foam can insulation to stiffen my top bow. I 
poured rust goop in the bow and swished it around, letting it dry thoroughly. 
I then plugged the screw holes in the plates and then squirted in the 
expanding foam, not too much as it really expands. Somewhere in the process, 
I rivited a plate over the small crease in the bow, then fiberglassed over 
it, and painted. Bow is very light and strong. Use a hammer and punch to 
unstick the screw plates.
