looks good, did you put cloth over the new foam supports, or just coat with epoxy? i have a feeling i am due for the same type project in the future....

Great post and nice work.

Excellent idea with the foam pour creating the mold etc, I did something similar but pour marine foam across the entire bottom because I install a polyurethane tank.
Its an idea i will remember, good job and very informative post.

No I didn't use any cloth, after cutting the supports to fit I just used epoxy to seal the foam cuts to stop any absorbtion. I also coated the entire tank compartment with epoxy while I was in there. The form supports were also stops for the additional foam pour to stop the foam from running into the center channels, creating the corner supports. The foam when poured along the sides will run under the tank filling the corners under the tank and rising up the sides to provide more support from underneath, along with closing the corners on the side locking the tank in place. This was not my idea, I had copied some of the other members ideas that had done this type of replacement before..
