[PSUBS-MAILIST] syntactic foam.

[Scott Waters via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
Hola from Costa Rica!
Depends on if they are glass or carbon fiber spheres and what size they are. They are all pretty durable. We are actually cutting up the foam on Pisces and reattaching it to get the shapes we want. 
I do have a ton of syntactic foam that is cert to 400m that I'd sell you for super cheap. Like all of it for $200
Thanks,Scott Waters

I have an idea, but not sure if it will work.  My idea is to fill a neutrally buoyant container with macro and micro spheres.  After the container is as full as possible, then fill with an environmentally friendly oil.  This would be more buoyant than using a resin and less complicated and cheaper.  My concern is, how well will the spheres stand up against breaking from being in contact with the other spheres and the container.   Are these spheres delicate?  Hank
