Is your point that the new foam application method had something to do
with foam breaking off from the PAL or bipod ramps? It didn't, but
that doesn't stop your ilk from making a poorly informed engineering
analysis that condemns those enviromental whackos.

Here's some reading that could make you more informed about the bogus
claim that environmentally friendly blowing agents had something do do
with foam loss. I doubt that you will read it, opting instead for more
angry-old-man diatribes.
