Hi,

I am using DivinyCell H-80 to build my 9.2 cat here is the link to
photos of the KSS building workshop

http://www.multihulldynamics.com/content.asp?c=ksswksp

I pay $92.15 US/ sheet of 12mm 48" X 85.6". It took approximately
9.5 sheets to build the port hull outboard panel, floor panel and
inboard hull panel. I plan to use Nidacore for interior bulkheads,
those not exposed to exterior weather or vulnerable to direct
impact. I am interested in hearing comments regarding using Nidacore
in exterior applications.
