Has anyone on the list ever used polyurethane expandable foam (like X-30) to
seal aluminum float compartments? Reply off-list if you like. Thanks.

--> Seaplane-List message posted by: Skyshop <danny@skyshops.org>
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Danny, I'm head of Skyshop
Inc., we are the USA importer for Czech Aircraft Works floats and
aircraft. I would like to give a comment on durability of our floats.
We have made a lot of improvements over the last year using better
sealing materials for the construction and now all aluminum is preprimed
before assembly with two-part epoxy. Unfortunately the bearings we use
are not available in stainless steel and in the past we have had service
life problems with salt water operation. Fortunately these bearings are
less than $3 a piece and are easily discarded and changed during
service. We also have new stainless steel axels which are hollow with
grease fitting for easy greasing of bearings between service. We also
have new sizes coming including 1450 and 2150. Not to mention brand new
flying boat, the Mermaid.

Greetings list.
I'm looking for any floats in kit form or plans to build floats. Any
material except wood.
Thanks in advance,
Raymond J.
