Not sure if this is any use either but here goes. I was looking around 
my local DIY store today, and in one of those rare eureka moments it 
occurred to me that the expanding foam used for sealing door frames etc 
might be useful for making Europa doors more rigid. The top and sides 
could be injected with this stuff, I am not sure how the bottom of the 
door could be done. Any suggestions?
One concern is whether as this stuff expands and sets would it put undue 
stress on the bond between the inner and outer parts of the door.

Indeed it does expand!
I used it once to fill compartments of the hull of a wooden (model) boat
kit my son was building, and it resulted in a significantly distorted hull
profile because each chamber bulged out.
