...so either the compression had damaged the cell walls enough to allow water through or water got in there from normal absorption processes. The latter would mean most of the boat would have similar quantities in the cells!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
I have seen this before. The honeycomb is made of mostly kevlar coated with phenoalic resin, processed like paper. When you crush the honeycomb, you break the resin leaving kevlar fibers. The kevlar fibers wick about like nylon. The cells fill with water and are really slow to dry.
I have heard of the skin seperating from the core after being crushed but I have not seen it on Marstroms.
