Great post. I had never bothered to even look up Nidacore before. Pretty ironic as I have an air powered plexus dispensing gun. that's what I should have made my splashwell out of.

I used it on the tank floor (post 62 on my rebuild thread) and for various other parts. Good stuff. You just have to think of how many screws or bolts are going into the product and adjust accordingly. Also used to core my engine box, light weight a cut down the sound.

FishSt - The part I never thought about before (don't know why) is the flange mold for the top of the bulkhead. That simple little trick to make a wide smooth even flat support so you can quickly cut, shape and tab the bulkhead into place. That little trick would have save me hours.

I do like Terry's application of nidacore for fuel tank support. Using this method it'd be easy enough to make half a dozen horizontal supports for fuel tank and make them perfectly level . . . Just install the front and back support and put a straight board across the top and tab them into place. I helped Jason cut out his nidacore deck back in 2001? . . . just like terry says though you either need to plan when you want to put the screws or glass everything into place. The material is awesome.
