like the previous poster said just do a litle test piece first.

epoxy resins "shouldn't" eat the foam but are a litle more expensive ...

are you talking about "cb" eg 27 mhz or "PRS" which is 36mhz from memory...

your sx 015 is "prs" whereas the two down the bottom you mention are "cb"

if your 015 work's you'll need to get one of the ones from this page

next use "SUPER RESIN POLISH" to bring the shine up. one coat is ok but 2 or 3 will make it mint.
