Buying Guide

Match cured density to buoyancy needs

Choose 2–6 lb/ft³ densities based on how much displacement and compressive strength your dock sections require; lower densities give more buoyancy per volume, higher densities resist compression

Prefer two-part polyurethane systems

Two-part urethane foams and adhesives cure into rigid, closed-cell structures that resist water absorption and bond well to fiberglass and wood

Check compatibility with fiberglass

Select formulations labeled for use with fiberglass or polyester laminates to ensure adhesion and to avoid chemical incompatibilities during cure

Balance kit size and coverage

Pick kit volumes appropriate for your void size—quart and larger kits reduce waste on bigger pours while smaller kits are better for patching or repairs

Use user ratings and value indicators

Consider products with consistent user ratings (4.1–4.6★ range in this selection) and compare cost per usable volume to assess value for projects
