G'day,
 
Sorry, I missed this.  Doug, please send any questions to me as well as to the group as I am having continual problems with Yahoo.  Ta.
 
Polystyrene will not work on areas where you are walking on it, as it dents, then leaves a void under the glass.  Eventually it all falls off.  You can put 1-3mm ply each side but it is better to use a decent core.  Foam, polypropylene (Boatcote or Polycore Aus) or paper honeycomb (ATL) are recommended.   
 
regards,
 
Rob

For long term use I'd stick with a quality foam or honeycomb. The
resin , glass and exposure to nasty materials is still the same price
for a core that can out gass and generally not perform as well. For a
discourse on this there is something on the proafile yahoo group I was
wondering for the marginal extra cost of going to 20mm for the core in
polycore polypropylene honeycomb,
