Using styrofoam for the layout table

I am building an around the walls layout. Am currently up to 2x16 feet of open grid benchwork built all of 1x4 white pine. Once the basic bench work is built and up on legs if it is an all flat area of the layout it will be covered by 1 1/2 inch foam. The only thing I recomend so far is that you should probably keep your spacing of your cross members to no more than twelve inches apart. If you want to go to two inch thick foam you could probably get away with spacing up to sixteen inches on center. If you want more advice as my construction moves along or would like to see some photos let me know.
