At last, I've got the cockpit floor laid down. After lots of advice (thanks guy's) I laid the foam sheets out on the kitchen floor. Laminated the two thin (5mm) sheets together with a thick bog, filled the underside before sheathing it in glass cloth, using peel ply to consolidate the epoxy into the weave. This produced a much better stiffer panel than my last attempt (sorry no photo's) It's not as light as I'd hoped, weighing 4.5kg before sheathing the top, but then a sheet of 5mm ply would be around 8kg and would still require stiffening.
I glued it down yesterday, fit some ply inserts to carry fittings etc and filletted the edge today
