Default Where can I find this material...("Aqua Foam"??)

I recently heard someone speaking of a product that you can shape, then wrap fiberglass, or CF, or whatever over it, let it dry, and then run it under water to disolve the origional "Aqua Foam" material.

I don't know if that is the name of the material, but I was told it is very expensive. Please give me the correct name, and where I can buy it.

Thanks!

the technique is called "lost foam molding". You can use regular foam and some accetone to dissolve it. I have also heard of the stuff that is water dissolvable, but I think it's expensive and hard to work with

here's a link with some details about it

EDIT . . . . . . more info:

it's called aquacore

I knew I saw another post about it:

Yep, it is called AquaCore. Works great but it is not cheap though.
