[QUOTE="fwman1, post: 493383, member: 31515"] A couple of processes to complete before mixing the epoxy. First, I made a disposable tool to cover the foam surfaces with small holes. This should help give the epoxy some teeth, seeing as the sheer strength of the foam/epoxy bond is probably the weakest part of the composite. The second prep is to scuff the inside of the FRP board to remove any bonding agents. I used a 3" steel wire bit for this. I'll wipe the FPR down with Alcohol before mixing and applying the epoxy. I have several sheets of OSB board to place on composite board while the epoxy is curing. I have a section of my interior shop ready to assemble the composite board (heated room). I'll tackle the epoxy part tomorrow. [ATTACH type="full"]113074[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]113075[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]113076[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
