You'll want to avoid using polyester resins on your foam, unless you
want your tank to melt!

I tried various foams before I found this one. It didn't melt, but I wonder
if I got the best adhesion possible.


I can see how this would be a problem. The foam would crush on impact
with a paintball, the fiberglass would eventually fail from the
dissortion of the foam underneath it.

Yea, I think that's what happended. The first couple of shots looked good,
but after a few dozen, things started to get messy.



maybe you could bond some aluminium skin to the foam. It'll dent like
crazy, but it might last longer!


I'd have to wear ear plugs to drive it! Have you ever been in a metal
building during a hail storm?
