Just ordered an a4 sheet to test it out but its 3mm thick closed cell foam coated in pvc. Im gunna do a tester when it arrives as long as its easy enough to cut then its what im gonna make the next project out of. If it works out i may have to fibreglass the back but should save me having to use bondo over the whole outside. Will let you all know how i get on peace out :thumbsup

Alright guys I have been experimenting with all different kinds of materials from foam to metal to plastics to vinyls. Experimenting with different glues and I have finally found a combination that works great
first the glue; mitrebond with pen Mitrebond - Different Quantities Available | eBay
this glue is the strongest I have ever used and it sets in about 1.5 seconds when the 2 surfaces connect with each other. ...here is a youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pba3QVqei1k it says 10 to 15 seconds on the video but it took a couple of seconds when I did it.
then the material 1mm Foamex Matt White Foam PVC Sheet - Foam Sheet Sign Board PVC Board Foam Board 1mm Foamex Matt White Foam PVC Sheet - Foam Sheet Sign Board PVC Board Foam Boar | eBay I used 3mm in the past but it was much more work to bend and cut and with 1mm you don't need to worry about angle cuts just cut normal with sissors and use a tiny bit of filler in the joints when the job is complete. its bendable and very very easy to work with. When the parts are made put a layer of fibleglass on the inside and it should be ready for paint.NO SANDING NO BODYFILLER.
the glue costs £9.99 inc p&p
and a massive sheet of foamex 3050mmx1220mm is £29.59 inc p&p
