Insulation For Fish/Box???

[MadGaffer]

Howzit,
I have a question, I have a 5 metre centre console and have a large alloy padded seat that i store my life jackets and flares etc in.
I was going to turn it into a fishbox/esky. My first train of thought was to line the box with some polystyrene and the just fibreglass the inside, but have just been informed that I fireglass resin eats away at some forms of foam ??? ???.

What I was hoping that someone has done a similar job or knows someone that has and would know what materials would be the best for the job? ???.

There is a slight money retraint on the job but any information and any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Madgaffer,

Mate I have a 5metre Quinnie with the same set up. I looked around at coolroom suppliers and got some old panneling for bugger all. I replaced the whole box but used the bottom so my pegs were in place and it worked perfect. Total cost with angle silicone etc was under $80.

Anyways, I am able to get my hands on some Green Foam ( the right stuff ) for minimal costs, so PM me if you in Brisvegas or surounding area !

Hi Lucky_Phill

Kevin Nichols from the CruiseCraft factory (3390 4967) should be able to point locals in the right direction for the "green stuff".

Best wishes. Ron Collins.

We so many mentions of the green stuff, I start to wonder if you are talking about foam or somehtig else.

Just a joke, Good luck making your esky, Found a Padded foam seat that looks like it came from the top of a esky like this about a month ago, About 1 meter lng, 40cm wide. I have no use for it, tried it in my boat and it wasn't too good in the 4.3m mantaray

The place to get the Green Stuff is Koolfoam at Slacks creek.

In the phone book and mention green stuff and they'll know exactly what you want. ;D ::) ;)
