Never tried pipe insulation, but made "bases" of plywood and put (drilled) holes in the side (at the bottom of the shell) to put screws in to hold the body in place. Put a piece of 2x2 underneith for a keel, and use some of that foam insulation (the stuff you shoot into walls) for extra boyancy. You could probably just glue some styrofoam to the plywood.
When you want to use them as field decoys, just remove the screws and set the bases aside.

Floaters
I bought 80 dozen shell decoys one time. We used lots of 'em as floaters by putting that gray insulation board under them and pushing nails in the spaces where the T posts went through. Only used 'em on ponds etc. And if'n the wind was blowing they would still flip over easily. But they worked and we used 'em for quite a while. Don't remember the brand.Oh..we layed 'em on the insulation board traced around 'em and then cut 'em out with a jig saw..knives what ever we could use. Floated fine. Musta looked good. Had a hunter who blasted one all to he!! one day.Hate to say it...but he WAS a Yankee
