Actually, when It was curing, I noticed how the support under my knees allowed me to really relax, I liked it, but only paddling will tell if it really works or not. I would expect the aerosol stuff to work too. I think you get about 1 cubic foot of foam per can.

I wouldn't rely on this stuff for final use though. It looks like it would absorb water. Use it to get a mold and then copy it in some other material.

I pulled it out last nite and sliced it into 3 inch slices (thickness of minicell), today I'll trace and clean up the lines a little and then band saw the mini-cell.

What's SYOTW?
