[QUOTE="richg99, post: 253753, member: 4376"] Foam that fills an empty cavity will give you a better chance of floating as opposed to sinking. From what I've read, foam...sealed water bottles...cork...etc. replace the space that water might take up. They don't add "buoyancy" on their own. But....they prevent water from filling that very same space. I found this article of interest. https://www.instructables.com/id/Project-rRaft-Building-a-Raft-out-of-Water-Bottl/ Rich [/QUOTE]
