77 spray works excellent on pink board, I am not soaking the pink board just misting some on it to let the composite stick to it while the epoxy is brushed on. Epoxy won't cause significant degradation either, I have never used styropoxy.

There is no reason to let a layer of epoxy cure on the surface before using the composite.

I was able to remove much of the foam from low stress areas once I built it.

Develop your technique on composite before you commit your beautiful foam shell to learning a technique. Like others have said. Complete the shape before working on hardening it.
