a few of us at Modrdy were worried about popping bladders ect... anyway we got some liquid foam to put in our kite it went well, only did the leading edge so we could carry it in our cars still only prob we have found is it can hurt when it hits someone but the less denser foam doesn’t snap so it works great and barely any weight so it fly's really well, there are a few tips for those wanting to do it, make sure you have someone hold the kite so when the foam dries it dries exactly to the kite shape. Bunning’s has a good cheap range you will need approx 4.5 cans to fill a 12m kite only done it on a co2 but see no problem working with the bows it makes the kite way approx 575gms heaver but its fantastic as you never need to pump your kite up again if any one tries it on a bow let me know how it goes see you out there

the main problem I see with this is it means you cant fill your kite with helium.

nah, you can't take it home, you have to chain it up at the beach, kinda like a boat at a marina...

ROFL are you serious, Just go buy an electric 12v pump then use your kite pump to do the last bit if your that slack btw 'fome' is spelt foam as far as I know,

He lives on the beach, so we chucked it over the fence.If you cant fit it in the car move closer to the beach.
