RE: [ATM] "Render Unto Ceasar. . . . "

Interesting bit of a discussion.  I have made several tubes, of the poly
sided design, (12 being my favorite number),  out of pink insulating
styrofoam.  It cuts easily on the table saw and I form it up using
polyester glue, (Gorilla glue),  and masking tape for clamps.  At bearing
and attachment points I glue on a piece of quarter inch ply.  For small
scopes, up to 8" anyway, they are ok but I can only take the wall
thickness down to 1" and then they flex to much.  Any idea on a resin that
could coat these and not eat the foam?
