removing foam within fiberglass
Excuse the strange question, Im new at fabrication.
My question is this, if say one were to form an airfoil with foam, then glass it, is there any sort of solvent to remove the foam after the glass has cured? I've heard styrofoam melts in fuel.

If you want to be fancy and spend some money, acetone works fine. But plain old gasoline does too, and it's a lot cheaper.
Fiberglass, gas, and foam,
. Real quick, you're home.
