F22 and F28 (3.2 hrs)
I decided to economize on this expensive foam, by cutting F28 out of leftover foam from the leg cutouts. Since my parts are already a little bigger than the plans, I don’t want to end up short by wasting good foam.
In the manual, the foam cutting plan shows F28 cut out of two half pieces.

Although it would have been easier, and quicker to cut F28 out of a single piece of foam, I followed the manual, and plan to rejoin them soon using wet-micro before glassing.

Due to the foam density, cutting this kind of foam with a razor knife is a slow process. It does feel more like cutting through Balsa wood than a piece of foam, really.
The slow speed made for a more accurate cut though, and pretty soon the all remaining foam bulkheads were completed.
