 expensive circuit breakers rather than cheap fuses - must be

Have you considered just using foam itself as the duct (w/o the glass)? Rumor has it that Jim Bede's latest cash extractor uses solid foam control surfaces.

Not certain, I understand what you have in mind, Charlie.  I fiberglass the outside of the duct and then shape the interior foam core to give me the shape I want, then I put a protective coating of resin over that foam.  If you left the foam walls thick enough, I suppose you could just use foam, but near the inlet my foam layer decreases until it meets the fiberglass.  I don't think the foam alone would be strong enough at that end.

Or perhaps you have something different in mind.
