Scrap or broken Elpor, Z-foam, EPO for paint testing
I want to do some paint testing so If you have some boken plane parts let me
know and I will buy them. Must be elapor, z foam or EPO (it's all really epo by different names).
Must be bare foam or with very little paint. I prefer wings at least pieces 6 in long or bigger.
Cheap of course. The kind of stuff you were going to put in the trash. PM me what you have.

Go to your local body shop and dumpster dive or ask them, the bumpers on modern cars have molded epp forms inside them.

Be careful when doing your testing, I have found both glue and paint that was safe on my Elapor Funcub will melt the Z-Foam from Eflite. I am pretty sure Elapor is EPO but Z foam does not have the same coating on it, may be closer to EPS but I am not sure.
Anyway after rambling along...the paint and glue I used on my funcub did melt two different Eflite Z foams (one from paint, one from glue ) so be careful.

Lammergier,
Swap meet today in Denton, TX. I'll bet there are a lot of potential "samples" there!
