Do you mean structural foam than can be melted off from inside beam structure to save weigth?

The foam would stay in place for the lifespan of the chassis, providing strength and thermal insulation. EPS is possible to recycle, so if I cannot find biodegradable foam sheets that can work in this situation, then I'll use EPS. __________________ Sincerely, Neil http://neilblanchard.blogspot.com/
