Beating a dead horse (fender float)
Okay I haven't tested it yet but I filled a boat fender with a+b foam and sealed the hole with 5200. I had a couple gallons of foam laying around so I figure I would give it a shot. I'll post back with results.

I use a DIY float at the moment that looks like this: I sometimes attach my floatline to one end with tuna clip, and a stringer or bag on the other end depending if I'm gathering clams,snails, lobster etc. or shooting fish and don't want to carry them on my belt. |

Re: Beating a dead horse (fender float)
Depending on the density and type it should be good .
It needs to be flotation rated ab foam ,not open cell 2 part insulation foam . It should be 6# minimum and 8 # is best and good to around 200' without damage . |

Re: Beating a dead horse (fender float)
Now that is just saying that it won't crush, but what kind of buoyancy can one expect from a foam filled fender?

The displacement - minus the weight of the fender and and the foam
