There is a rating for compressive strength and it has a little f in the </span>description. Not sure how to interpret that. Can I get an opinion on that. I need to know the compressive strength in psi. This could be a cheap form of buoyancy. I would make a glulam then fibreglass the exterior to waterproof the block. Of coarse as always i would make a sample and put it in my large pressure chamber.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471882928036_6732" dir="ltr">Thank you in advance</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471882928036_6732" dir="ltr">Hank</div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471882928036_6733"><br><br></div> <div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471882928036_6752" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471882928036_6751"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471882928036_6750"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471882928036_6749"><font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471882928036_6748"> On Monday, August 22, 2016 10:24 AM, xxx xxxxx <mp13@live.ca> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1471882928036_6756"><div id="yiv4126927294">
