I am considering using left over styrofoam blocks as filler inside a bumper insert. To reuse materials and to save on spray foam. So, the core would be styrofoam, surrounded with polyurethane foam, finished with polyster resin fiberglass. Can that work for a front bumper cover attachment?
The styrene will dissolve with polyester resin,but if a blocking coat of carpenters glue,or polyurethane spar varnish it will be non-reactive.
You could glue in your styrofoam to fill in the voids,then just 'paint' the exposed surface with glue.
