Dean,
I think Cliff Redus experimented with
similar material for the R-300. You might inquire with him about it.
I also made a contact with Trelleborg Engineered Systems at the Underwater
Intervention in January. Try contacting ian.griffiths at trelleborg.com
and you can remind him that he offered wholesale pricing for PSUBS
members. He had told me that for syntactic foam they need to build a mold
and pour it to the mold. There's another product, but I can't recall the
name, which is similar to syntactic foam which they can sell in blocks so that
you can machine it yourself. This other product can't reach the same
depths as syntactic foam, but if I recall correctly it was well within the
working depths of personal subs.
