If your talking about foam I wouldn't use it for a wooden stringer replacement. People underestimate the strength value of wood. Its used because its strong and light.

I think divynellcell and kelgecell are the same thing.

If your talking about the pourable transom stuff, it's a chopped glass in resin.

I used some wood to make a Tophat form for stiffeners, worked pretty well. The black color is from 2 layers of carbon fibers. This thing was layed up with an overkill schedule.
