Closed Cell Foam is great for custom outfitting your kayak to fit certain needs. Whether it is making a custom transducer pad, carving new hip pads for your sit inside kayak, adding more flotation to your kayak, or for re-enforcing the deck of your kayak to be able to take a heavier load, the Closed Cell Foam can do it all.

I have a Necky Looksha 17 with a damaged bulkhead from Hurricane
Irma. This IS the correct material for replacement AND 'ACK' had
the best price. Just make sure you use the right adhesive for
polyethylene boats, something like H2 Glue or West Systems G/Flex
Epoxy, not Lexel, not 3M 5200, and not Goop.
This is great quality foam using it inside my 19' Grumman freighter
canoe(tin tank) I like it. Putting foam on inside edge where my
knees hit the sides. After a long day on the water the gunnels get
kind of wearing on the knees .hopefully the foam will take the
sting out of it. Have used some on floor front and back for the
knees makes it great. Will buy some more keep up carrying the
Great products ACK.
First I want to apologize for the duplicate previous posts - my
internet is so slow I couldn't tell the first one was sent. Today I
completed installing the foam blocks into my stitch n glue canoe. It
went pretty well but took a couple days while I waited for glue to
cure. I used Weldwood latext contact cement on the blocks I
attached to the inner sides of the canoe. For under the seats, I
added a wooden frame that was screwed to the seat crossbar and
glued with Gorilla Glue. The Gorilla glue also took to the foam and
is holding it in place. The wood frame is intended to make sure the
foam can't escape. I glued 1 inch foam on the top of the seat for
floatation and comfort. I think I'll order 2 more blocks of the 2 inch
thick foam to add to the bow - that should put about 450 pounds of
buoyancy into the canoe and I can feel better when I get on a big
lake. Its not the prettiest but I'm all for safety. I'll post photos of
the install on this blog.
I bought several blocks of this foam to add safety buoyancy to a
home built stitch & glue canoe. ACK could not give me a buoyancy
rating for the product so I conducted my own test. I'll try to include
a drawing - should have done a photo. The 2x12x24 inch block
would float a little over 30 pounds in the water. I'm really
impressed. I hope to attach the foam using contact cement and
some strapping. The blocks I have should support about 390
pounds. I have been looking for a product like this for the canoe
for a couple years. I'm very pleased w ACK's service and
willingness to ship US Mail - the only affordable option where I live
in bush Alaska. I am considering replacing the failing urethane
floatation in my 18 foot power boat too - but need more research.
Since I haven't got the foam installed yet my rating is based on the
great service, good price and making available what appears to be
the ideal product for my needs. Since its polyethylene I am
hoping for good durability.
Hard to fully rate this at this point but I want to pass on some info.
First the price seems good, ACK was excellent to work with. I've been
looking for this kind of product for a long time to add durable
floatation to a home built canoe. I haven't installed it yet. Just tested
for buoyancy: I suspended a sack of rocks from a 2x12x24 inch block
of foam and put it in a lake. The foam would float a bit over 30
pounds of rocks - I'm impressed. I hope to install about 400lbs worth
of foam buoyancy in the canoe using contact cement and some
strapping. Since it is polyethylene I expect it to be quite resistant to
sun, gas, other solvents. I am considering replacing the failing
urethane foam in my 18 foot power boat with this now too. I'm
especially pleased that ACK would US MAIL this product to me in
remote bush Alaska - where other carriers don't serve or charge a
fortune. thank you.
Used it to make floatation in
recreational kayak. The
product was as advertised and
was shipped quickly. Easy to
cut with a saw and worked well
for the application.
The foam was the best I have
ever purchased. I will continue
to purchase from ACK. The
price was very reasonable. I
purchased a number of
different sizes and they all
were of the same great quality.
For those that go through the
world never feeling the need
to modify or personalize
their boats, this stuff is
irrelevant. For those that do,
its esswential.
Very easy to cut with a kitchen knife. It appears hard at first, but conforms with body pressure and heat. I placed three on two malibu two xls. has worked out well. i still use comfort deluxe seats, but my family enjoys the extra cushion.
i would recommend.
Pretty sure I didn't use it for it's "target" purpose (padded the bottom of a cargo bike) but this was delivered fast, inexpensive and worked perfectly.
