TotalBoat 2 Part Expanding Polyurethane Flotation Foam

Works great! Just make sure you have a lot of gloves, stir sticks and quart containers. wear old clothes and prepare to make a mess. Works great and take your time. The more holes the better.

i have used this product twice. no problems with shipping or damaged cans. have not had any cans explode endlessly. my reason for picking totalboat over other brands i had bookmarked is because totalboat 2lb flotation foam actually has the capability of carrying more weight per cubic foot than other brands. plus all products coming from jamestown come from craftsmen,builders,shipwrights and other boat lovers not just a company that sells foam and epoxy and such. the first time i used the foam was at 90 deg and the second time was around 60+deg didnt seem to matter, it still blew and covered bout same area. ( what would be great if it came in a divided tube with a mix nozzle or just a blank caulk tube to get to certain places you cant pour) but will being buying more and other products til im done with my boat. thank you jamestown. 1977 glastron t152 trihull

I filled in the gap between the hull and the cockpit floor thru 1.5 in. Holes I drilled thru the defective balsa sandwich floor. Than i sanded the floor level and epoxied in a 0.5 in. Coosa board to make the new solid cockpit floor.

I followed the instructions to a T as far as I can tell. The second time I bought this Total Boat foam for the same pour I even got the temperature just above 80 instead of over 75 as i did on the first pour. With my calculations 2, 2 gallon kits of 2lb only yielded about 5 cubic feet total (that's only about 2.5 cubic feet per 2 gallon kit). Am I confused with what the total yield should be? Is it actually supposed to yield just over 2 feet cubed or 8 feet cubed? I've seen many videos of even higher density foam expanding more than this stuff did. This was in the center of a room and i made sure everything got up to proper temp before the pour. The room was near 70 all day before i got it up to 80 and waited about 30 minutes after to proceed. What am i missing? i also stirred heavy with a mixer for 25 - 30 seconds before immediately pouring and the foam was evenly colored. Confused...

Read the directions and have everything ready to go. I found that while mixing the two parts together quickly and counting to 25 the mixture abruptly turns clear, pour the liquid into the void and watch the magic happen. From the video I thought I would get more volume from the foam. I calculated the cubic inches to be filled and came up short. To complete the job I used a second set to make up the difference.

I used it for under seat and bow and stern floatation materials in a Cap Dory homebrew. The material, of course is free form whereas the places you want to put it are structural. My point is, that a great deal of planning needs to go into the installation before committing to pouring the compound.

This expanding closed cell foam product delivers what it promises. I think they under state the strength a bit because I found the surface to be easily rigid enough to act as a floor for light weight items like sails and lifevests. I did make one goof up and that was to allow the cans to get a bit warmer than they should ant that accelerated the expanding foam reaction to the point I had to move very quickly after mixing. It started reacting almost immediately, so abide by their guidelines. Make sure you mix right next to where you plan to pour and drape things well. Basically I think the stuff is fantastic.

Was enough to finish foaming my 15ft boat. Old foam was destroyed. Started with the gallon mix. Finished with this.

Removed the old foam in my boat. Purchased a gallon to re foam my boat. This product is easy to use and filled more of my boat than expected. First time doing this so it does look like a novice did it but hey there will be plywood over it lol

supposed to be a one to one mix.I came up about 12 oz less on activator .Was still enough material to do my project.

I used one quart mixing cups. I put equal amounts that totaled just under a quart stirred and poured in holes in the floor. It was about fifty degrees outside but about seventy inside a heated shop so it didn't kick off real fast and gave me a little time to pour scrape the cup good so I didn't have much waste.

it expands quick, no doubt, so you better move fast and use small batches

I used this to fill the end compartments of a canoe. Not only did it work well it was easy and added structure to the canoe.

The floataion foam worked like charm. Easy to use.

I used this product to fill flotation tanks of a sailboat. Instead of pouring the mixture directly into the chamber, I first lined it with a plastic drop cloth as I did not want to foam to adhere directly to the wooden boat structure. I want the flotation foam to be removable so that I can (at some point) paint or clean the inside walls of the tank. After the foam has cured, the plastic can easily be peeled off. I made smaller successive batches, each one fitting into the contour of the previous batch and easily removable. It's been working very well.

This was an easy product to use, seemed pretty true to directions.

Easy to use and very effective. Just make sure to pour it before it starts to expand (about 30-40 seconds). It can be messy. So, plan ahead and have everything, including stir stick and something to clean any drips ready ahead of time.

Awesome product will continue to use Jamestown Distributors for future Boat repair & Restoration. Thank you, L&S Marine

works for intended purpose as well as could be expected.

you had to work fast, but if you prepare in advance (do a dry run) then it is very easy to use. just a little messy.

Just mix good and poor in hole quick, starts to go fairy fast.

I pour totally 4lbs into the bow and stern of my sit inside kayak (Perception sound 10.5). I test the kayak a week later on the near by reservoir by filling up the kayak with water. The kayak float!!! I bought the first 2lbs from James Town distributor. The packaging was poor. Both metal cans have missing seals. The liquid leak out.Even though the metal cans is in a plastic bag. But it is messy.So, the second 2lbs I orderer from US composite. The packaging is very nice. No messy liquid leaking all over the plastic bag.

I used it to replace the under-seat flotation in an old aluminum boat. Did a great job. Filled the voids effectively and solidly. But since the foam sticks securely to whatever it touches, there was some scraping and clean-up necessary.

This was a great product and very easy to use if you go through the steps in a dry run. Pryer planning is the key to an out standing project.

If you prep the area ( plastic sheeting,paper towels/rags, rubber gloves ) it is a breeze using this product. It helps to do a dry run , measuring , mixing, pouring and possible clean-up before hand.

This product was easy to use and gave amazing results! My only mistake was that I mis-calculated how much I would need. Which ... in turn is going to be a plus since I am now going to be able to use the surplus on additional projects. I ordered online but also used the phone in customer service which was very helpful.

I had to put a new tube in my boat for all the rigging on the inside of the hull. This stuff worked perfectly. Prepare for a HUGE mess. It is also very sticky until it dries. I spilled some on the carpet in the boat and it pulled the carpet up when I was trying to clean it off. Not a big deal as I am recarpetting the boat anyway. I have a tip for using this in confined areas. The area I was working in was small and I had to get it full all the way into the back. What I did was mix up a batch and pour it into a 1.5"" PVC pipe with a wad of paper towel to plug one end. Then I stuck it into the area I was working on and pushed the foam out with a stick. Sorta like a giant syringe. Worked Great and turned out great.

I invented the innovative new I.T.S.U. Wave Master Kayak/SUP Hybrid for River Masters of Oregon. We fill our kayak/sup with this foam to guarantee flotation over many years of normal use. Normal use in Kayaking terms includes: extreme whitewater, UV exposure, standing water in voids when bilge is not emptied and salt water conditions as well as river water. This foam gives us peace of mind knowing that our customers are not going to sink our water crafts under normal recommended use.

Pour in place foam is great for boat flotation when restoring waterlogged foam. It expands quickly and is relatively easy to work. Expansion is sometimmes hard to contain. I just let it grow and then cut off the excess. Work quickly after getting prepared ( especially in warm weather).

Product was great! The package was dented bad and was not properly packaged. Jamestown also added a $16.00 charge for handling that was not in the final price when I checked out (beware) I will not order from this place again. But the product worked as sold.
