Sealing Aluminum Masts

I was at Home Depot with La recently and I saw Loctite had a high density spray foam available.  I immediately thought of this project - sealing the Takuma Masts.


The foam is different than the other yellow stuff I've used in the past.  And it is really sticky.  I'm going to put a cap of epoxy on the filled openings (placing a slight depression on the top layer of foam so I know it is capped with epoxy).


I have been prone foiling with the Project Cedrus 75cm (79cm) mast - I am noticing the thicker profile makes it harder to paddle fast. I'll post more on this on other posts - but I'm thinking a properly sealed Takuma Aluminum is not a bad thing to have around.
