You don't even get Styrofoam near Vinyl Ester resin. It dissolves it.


Back when I was about ten, I tried to build a styrofoam wing for a
U-Control airplane. When I was carving the airfoil, the wing broke in
half. Being both lazy and poor, I just slobbered glue over the broken
edges, put the pieces back together, and set them down on a piece of wax
paper.

When I came back a half-hour later, there was a ~1/2" gap between the
halves of the wing. "That's strange," I said. I slathered some more glue
on the two pieces, jammed them back together, and set it on the wax paper.

A half hour LATER...well, there *still* was a 1/2" gap. Right about then,
I started to figure it out. :-)
