So, where does a person get this disappearing rope stuff?<br /><br />Also, I was wondering if Boomyal could tell whether the foam had a hard (as in waterproof) skin where it had contacted the foam, or whether it will be like a cut foam surface after the rope melts?<br /><br />$0.01 for your thoughts,<br />Joe

Hmmm...well, I have level 9 clearance...but I guess if you only have level six, then you wouldn't have been able to find that out. ;) <br /><br />Nowhere near $0.02 worth,<br />Joe

Hey, your first offer was 1 cent! But seeing as your a level nine......<br /><br />Seriously, I don't know where it comes from, only boomyal has that info. He usually comes online late at night.<br /><br />Aldo

Re: Where do you get disappearing rope?

Sorry for stonewalling ya'll. I got my 'rope' as a sample, from a manufacturer who was intrigued by my intended usasge of his uncut product. It was sent gratis so I really have not been able to post a source.<br /><br />I will call them on Monday and see what kind of arraingements can be made to supply any interested in using it.<br /><br />If it works out that you are able to obtain some, we'll need to touch bases regarding the application of it.

Thanks Boomyal, I would love to get some of the stuff.<br /><br />Oh, back to my original post...do you know whether the foam skins up around the rope, or will it have a surface like when you cut the foam. Seems like the skinned up surface would be more waterproof.<br /><br />Thanks again,<br />Joe

Thanks Boom,<br />Have you finished up your floor and the foaming in yet?<br />I was curious if you could tell how it worked out.<br />Did the rope completely disappear? Or did it make for some thick (soupy) water and need a lot of flushing?<br /><br />AK Chappy

That's where the application instructions come in. I am not finished with the foaming yet. I undercalculated the volume plus I only got about 60% expansion out of the foam I did buy. I've only foamed the front part, over the 'rope'. <br /><br />As my boat sits outside, it it subject to the condensing dew and now the high humidity from the rain. Waiting for my new batch of foam, the exposed 'rope' has shrunk both in diameter and length. That's just the start of the process it would undergo when subject to liquid moisture.<br /><br />Now I will have to remove the 'rope' in the unfoamed parts of the boat, reapply it, then foam immediately. It's my expectation that the rope performed as calculated, in the first foamed section. I will actually explore into the passageways where the original rope emerges from the first foaming. That will tell the story.
