[QUOTE="SmartAsss, post: 7215946, member: 629857"] You are right about the mass of wood and lead, I guess that the word mass is not what I'm looking for. lead would, have more mass. Im looking for a word that describes something that would take up volume without the ability to compress or vibrate.. displacement like you said. fluffy poly-fill does not possess the characteristics to increase displacement without a large compressed quantity of it. I still stand by my statement that a small piece of wood would displace more than a large quantity of poly fill. Trust me im not being thick headed, I spent some time yesterday trying to figure out your reasoning. An experiment of melting down a pillow's worth of poly fill will prove my point. not saying that either of us will do that experiment but the proof is there. poly fill has its use as increasing the volume not useful in decreasing it.
