-EaglesDare bought at trailer with a 2x6 board floor, many ideas about how to remove/build on the floor

-tongue weight discussion

-use a bathroom scale under the tongue with the trailer level to find out if you have a good tongue weight.
-using gorilla glue to join foam panels
-pre-canvasing the foam before assembly suggested (earlier we learned it can be bent without breaking this way as the canvas takes all the tension and the foam compresses)

-another report of an old wood boat with canvas and varnish that was impossible to remove many years later, and the would was sound underneath (the warner paint eater will take care of any paint, canvas, or fiberglass and not touch the wood, I stripped a boat 5 years later and could still read the pencil marks on the plywood like they had never been painted over)

-great stuff (GS), great stuff for sticking foam panels together and sticking them to anything else. the poster stated he worked with the GS for a while (margarine like consistancy) before sticking things together so it didn't expand and ruin the joint (GS and GG are basically the same stuff, GG is much more concentrated)
(GS cans says it is a one shot deal, once you use the can the aplicator tip ends up full of cured foam. the trick is to unscrew the tip and dunk it in kerosene (other solvents may work but I get it for free) )
(you can shape the GS while wet. get a nitrile glove (blue in most hardware stores) and a cup of kerosene, dip you fingers in the kerosene and use it to lube and cut the surface of the foam to what you want) (used this many times to control the shape of GS sealing vents on airplanes, paint any exposed surfaces or UV will destroy the GS)

-look for a local recycle place or eco-nut devoted to reusing every possible thing to find foam for cheap or free (craigslist possibly also)
