Does anyone know where to get the foam they use to add ribs to a boat (this one is 'goldenglass')?    I saw it once a while ago and after much re-searching it eludes me.  It's either that or make some cedar strips and glass over them.

Foamcore can be bought at an art supply shop or online.  Comes in various thicknesses.  It's just foam between paper, nothing special.

quite the price diff btwn core-cell from JD and foam core art board. of course the art board is 3/16". anything 1/2" is pricey. thanks for the help. in light of this i think cedar will do just fine.

Canoe builders over at solotripping.com will likely give you more answer than you want.
