Which material???

[oceanpotion]

Hi guys, since you were so helpful with my last question I got another... I have a feeling Ill be here a while hehheh

Ok, here is the project: Outside my house is a large fiberglass fish box. It is a huge ice cooler used by commercial fishermen. I want to refurbish it but the bottom has a hole in it. So what Im going to do is cut it just past the hole in the bottom. This will make it shorter and it should fit in the back of my truck. The question is what should I construct the new wall out of? It needs to be insulated so that ice wont melt. Maybe some kind of divinicell(SP?) or styrofoam? I was almost thinking about glassing some RMax styrfoam sheets on. Any help would be great... The current dimensions are 48"W X 96"L X 40"H After reconstruction it should be 48"W X 72"L X 40"H

PS: The 1972 27' Thunderbird from my previous post was claimed b4 I could get it so I dont have a project to work on Thanks again for those that helped me with that.

Re: Which material???

Almost any foam will work provided it's compatible with the epoxy or resin you use. The cheapest would be the pink foam or white styrofoam sold at home improvement stores. It's made to be insulation, and if the application isn't structural it'll do just fine. Just glass over the new wall with a couple layers of epoxy and glass and it'll work nice
