CFS has just put on Instagram that they are going to start stocking Marko EPS blanks.
US blanks also confirmed to me today that they are working on a solution for UK distributor, but it’ll take time. In the meantime, they’ve sent a container to Cord recently and Ocean Magic might get one in the not too distant future. Both would be happy to re-sell from stock account to US Blanks.

I fear that nowadays the importation of American products is not just a distributor problem.
I saw that CFS will be stocking the Mario blanks but unfortunately I don’t use epoxy so need poly blanks.
The other problem is getting them to Channel Islands.
At the moment nobody is shipping here except CFS.
Also I fear you are right regarding American products.
There are other countries who produce foam however. Fingers crossed. I used to use Homeblown (a UK company) but they no longer exist. Great foam though.
Strongest combination is a Poly blank glassed with Epoxy.
True, but the problem is getting poly blanks to Jersey now that Seabase has closed down.
Also, sadly I only use ploy resin so can’t use eps blanks!! Could try to use epoxy resin but to be honest can’t be bothered to learn a new technique at age 71 lol.
Pete, lam with modern epoxy is like poly with more time and no smell. More change eps vs pu but after some no problems. Seal foam help a lot.
