I've looked in to this but not for structural rigidity. More along the lines of sound proofing. It's interesting that it can provide additional strength. I admit now that I havn't read the articles but the first thing that springs to mind is what happens if water gets in there? It seems that you would have to at least fish oil the areas to be applyed before using it if you were concerned about the body lasting. in a racing application the long term prospects of the vehicle aren't too bright as they tend to be damaged/repaied/written off often. On a street car My concern would be if water were to get in to the void it really has nowhere to go but sit there and rust. the 2 part product can be made reasonably cheaply and is quite rigid (like foam but finer) I was told for less than $90 you can get enough to create a block of about 2m^3 but that I'm unsure about. Hope this helps, I'll read those articles when I get in tommorrow. [Report message to a moderator]
