As some of you will know I am always looking for new materials to improve the strength and quality of my floats. After many hours searching I recently took delivery of three “new” samples of foam to evaluate. Two of these I have deemed unsuitable but the third is very promising indeed. Rather than the “one size fits all” strategy used by many I tailor the density/strength of the body materials to suit the intended purpose of the float by utilising four different foams. The strongest of these at the moment is the 200kg/cubic metre foam which is used on my paste and margin floats which is much stronger than the 110kg commonly used by others. The new stuff is 240kg/cubic metre and is very fine in cell structure which makes for a good finish and exceptionally good for holding side eyes. Not had much time to play with it as yet due to being busy replenishing stocks but I can see a couple of very versatile and durable float patterns emerging from the workshop once I have time to finalise the designs and give them a proper field testing.
