About this item
- TWO-PART, MARINE GRADE EXPANDING FOAM cures very hard and rigid, with high compressive strength ideal for a number of marine and residential applications, including structural reinforcement, architectural castings, art projects and flotation
- 6 POUNDS PER CUBIC FOOT HIGH-DENSITY FORMULA is perfect for casting, carving, sculpture, plug making, sign making, flotation for boats and buoys, floating decoys, part fabrication, replicating wooden parts, rigidifying, structural support and more
- FAST-SETTING, CURES TO A 94% CLOSED CELL FOAM, where each cell traps air and prevents liquids such as water, gas, and oil from penetrating; once fully cured, foam is compatible with epoxy, polyester or vinyl ester resins, and can be painted
- IDEAL WORKING TEMPERATURE IS 75-85°F. Proper temperature, mixing, timing and venting are critical for proper foam expansion; below 75°F expansion decreases; the foam expands rapidly after mixing, so prep the surface in advance and be ready to pour

Product Description
TotalBoat 6 Lb. density 2-Part Polyurethane Flotation Foam is a versatile, fast-setting expanding foam that cures rigid and strong, making it ideal for a number of structural and artistic applications, It's more than just a flotation foam for boats - use it for filling cavities to support heavy loads, casting, sculpting, making plugs for fiberglass molds, creating floating decoys, fabricating stage and stunt props and much more. This versatile foam can be finished and painted, once cured, and is very easy to cut or carve into shape. Cured marine foam is also compatible with epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester coatings.TotalBoat two part foam has a simple 1:1 mix ratio that makes it very easy to use, and it cures quickly at room temperature. Always have good ventilation, and wear proper gloves, eye, and clothing protection when you mix or pour foam. Warm conditions of 75-85°F are extremely critical for it to expand properly, as are accurate measuring and thorough mixing. Boat foam expands tremendously by volume, so proper venting is critical in the area where the foam is to be applied. Just mix one part resin and one part activator together, stir vigorously for about 25 seconds, pour immediately into the prepared cavity or mold, and leave undisturbed until cured. The foam hardens, with minimal shrinkage, and can be cut or carved to shape easily. For best results filling larger areas, pour in multiple layers to allow a proper cure and maximum strength bonding between layers. If consecutive pours are not possible, the polyurethane foam will still cure mechanically to itself.Compare to US Composites Expanding Urethane Foam, Fibre Glast Mix and Pour Foam, AeroMarine Pour Foam, and Iso-Pak IsoFoam. TotalBoat 2 Part Marine Foam sets up quickly, and has high compressive strength. All TotalBoat products are developed for boaters, by boaters. We know what works and what doesn't. 100% made in the USA.

Yesterday, the weather finally allowed me to get some work done.
LOVE IT!
Expands evenly and fills like crazy
My boat will float!!
It's a good idea to mix small quantities at a time.
I also learned the hard way that the foam in liquid form will get through any open cracks in the work area. This is definitely different from the spray on foam which I am used to. (I have been cleaning areas where I didn't intend the foam to go.) Also, it seems to bond to just about anything as it dries.
The texture of this foam seems to have many more air bubbles than spray-on foam.
This has been a learning experience for me while working on my boat.
Question: Would I use this again?
I am not sure. I am inclined not to. This is simply because of my lack of knowledge in using this product.
I used 1 pint each of A + B and employed a small mechanical paint stirrer with a variable speed drill to mix. It rapidly became homogenous and coffee colored. I could feel the heat building while I was pouring the final bit into the cavity I wanted to fill.
I’d estimate that it produced approximately 2/3 cubic foot of foam.
Temperature of cavity was 78° F. It seems obvious that the warm temp definitely contributed to rapid expansion and intimate volume.
I read the instructions, watched multiple videos, mixed it perfectly and used it in ideal weather conditions. There is no way that the lack of expansion was my fault.
I was willing to pay $100 for this product because if it worked as advertised it would have been a great value but now I’m stuck with the bottom third of my kayak filled with foam making the damn thing so lopsided it might be ruined unless I decide to shell out $200 to hopefully have enough to fill the cavity that should already be filled!
I am going to try and get a refund and try another brand because I sure as hell ain’t trying this TotalBoat POS brand again!
I am so mad that I got tricked into using this crap. The expansion was only a 10th of what they advertised.
Amazon you need to offer a 0 Star option because I’m annoyed that I have to even give it 1 star.
