Question & Answer

Can I use or replace my existing foam with extruded polystyrene foam (Styrofoam) or extruded polystyrene resin (rigid pink / blue board)? 

We strongly recommend that you do not remove or replace the BASF closed-cell foam with any other material. Please be aware that gasoline dissolves polystyrene, breaking it down and letting the air within it escape. Once polystyrene foam has been effected in this way, it no longer provides any flotation value.
