3. Body filler sticks to it without issue?

Thanx!
I don't about wood glue. But as to latter two questions: if you let the foam cure a long time, fiberglass resin should not melt it. I have had both experiences. For my mirror delete, I foamed the hole, let it cure--actually abandoned the project for weeks--and then glassed it, then bondo for a smoother, better-rounded finish.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
