All the pole floats I produce are made with Rohacell high tech close cell foam. I use different types of foam depending on the designed use of the float. Rohacell RIMA110, is used for the majority of the 'commercial' patterns, I also use IGF110, HF71 and HF51 foam. I made the choice to use RIMA110 from very early on when I started to make pole floats over 12 years ago. RIMA110 is the hardest smooth finish foam available and extremely durable I just wanted to make floats that really last. My larger river patterns are made from HF51 foam and a few natural/canal/F1 patterns are made from HF71 foam. All my floats are hand crafted to last, using 2-part waterproof resin and finished with two coats of paint and 3 coats of polyurethane varnish. Paint colour is by default aqua blue or by request silver/gunmetal.
