These will look great on the deck! Nice work!
When you said foam did you mean Painting On Styrofoam?

yes i tried fiberglass and resin but it ate it really bad i was hoping to find something that i could seal it with other than to use foam caulk on the seams

Click on the “Styrofoam” link in my last post here. It will take you to a youtube video about painting Styrofoam.

One more thing. I used Liquid Nails styrofoam before to join two pieces together and it didn’t eat the foam.

i was hoping to find something that would seal it. I used the dense blue styrofoam.

I believe that the blue Styrofoam is a “closed cell” foam. Which means water and air will not permeate through it, so it’s is already sealed. Is this the 3/4” blue type you get at Home Depot or Lowe’s? That foam is “closed cell”.

it is the 1” but I thought if I could seal the whole thing it would look better and not leak at the corners. I also put a drain in it with a pvc ball valve.

And I am way pumped my new laguna table saw will be here tomorrow

If you use Liquid Nails to seal all the seams it shouldn’t leak. As far as coating it the link to YouTube for the right paint is all you can do to cover it. Unless you line it with some plastic, maybe some sign board material.

gotta go time to go to work, hate 2nd shift.

Very nice! I keep meaning to make some of these. I believe epoxy and silicone are foam safe, but it would be best to test first.

Very nice

I have usually seen these built to fit a cooler.
