WTF of the Day: Polyurethane Foam Bodywork

hey i did not know this that polurehane coating is can be use in a car or a house also i think this will be great its like polurehane coating is a clay this was nice i see it also in http://www.con-treat.com.au i try i ones and i see lot of stuff

Your blog is very informative. However, it is pretty hard task but your
post and experienced serve and teach me how to handle and make it more
simple and manageable.

Thanks for the tips… Best regards.

Concrete waterproofing: Con-Treat supplies the world’s most technically advanced systems for the Ultimate in Concrete Protection – Concrete waterproofing

Polyurethane protects things from damages and abrasions. It is also called as Polymer, which is an essential material for almost every industry. It can be used as adhesives, building materials, paper, cloths, fibers, coatings, plastics, ceramics, concretes, liquid crystals, photo resists, and coatings. This chemical is very useful because it can be used in a wide variety of industries, including glass ball coating.

Does it float?

would be a lot better without that hideous grill

bad. if only i could find that 10 million dollar bill

everett… WRONGO.

Betcha that car handles dings BETTER than it did before the mods.

how much is his freakin insurance! you cant even lean on his car to hard.

R.Q. Riley has been creating vehicles with foam and covering in fiberglass for years, it used to be done with sheets of foam you’d see on houses, and it’s now moved onto foam in a can for filler. http://www.rqriley.com

I found that stuff in secret tunnels on a car I was fixing rust on. Everything failed but the foam. It hangs onto the odors of the day it was formed (after ripping into it, I smelled paint, fuel, and even human from certain spots). This type of foam does have some fire retardant (not while drying) acoustic, electrical, and depending on the surface, rocks from trucks in front of you bouncing off to steel dentliness someplace else… Its under the plastic in dash boards. its in some fiberglass boats, under the glass, its a surprise to find what it held after a decade in quiet places. It outlasts steel.It is water proof. I am a welding sledgehammer kinda guy, so this stuff goes with the bondo people. That guy was building a prototype?

How strong is the stuff? I mean, with the name foam… It’s hard to believe

That’s awesome yet bizarre. I wonder how much weight it adds and how long before it starts cracking????

That’s boss!

That’s EXTREMELY COOL. I imagine in some places, studs should be welded to the sheet metal face to help anchor the foam and protect against thermal expansion or flexure that might cause a loss of adhesion.

It looks like he was preparing resin to coat the finished foam. If fabric and resin is used over the foam it would be a really freaking strong result, but resin alone might do the trick.

This is very awesome stuff. I’ve used this foam and figured it would have a lot of other uses, but I never imagined this. It’s also very lightweight.

This is kind of like the clay sculpting of car models during conceptual development, done by auto companies only it’s on a working chassis and results in a finished vehicle. The possibilities are only limited by imagination. AWESOME.

I used the foam stuff to fill in my fender flares! works pretty good

thats impressive, i had my doubts though in the beginning of the projects, very surprised with the end result!!

this is incredible, now I know how i am going to build a custom body once I get a chassis

groovy.

The final outcome is a pretty amateur looking design, but I admire this guys ability. Given his technique and production skills, if someone would help him with the looks of the car he might come up with something worthy of displaying on the show circuits.

Yeah, it’s glassed over the foam.
.
Light weight, strong (with the ‘glass skin) and
imagine how quiet this thing would be, with all
that foam…
.
Very impressive end results.

and looking at the pics i think Dieselabstimmen is right, it looks like they laid fiberglass over it the foam. Pretty damn good idea, comes out awesome.

wow…i just thought about this yesterday. We started working on the old ranger and i was wondering if anybody ever tried using this stuff for bodywork. I think bondo will do just fine for me though.

Didn’t they cover it in fiberglass to create a new shell altogether?
