Foam!

[fustercluck]

It's a long, boring story, but i need some thick, durable rubber (i guess) kind of foam. Not sure where to buy foam though. I went to lowes and they didn't have any. Kinda looking for something like this: http://us.st5.yimg.com/store1....om/I/adux_1828_8005250

I have no idea where to look really.

Can't believe someone replied - Thanks. I would like to buy locally though if i could. I think i'll try home depot later but i doubt they'll have any.

I'm not sure where you could find specific foam like that locally. Some home improvement stores will have light foams (construction material). McMaster-Carr is where I go for things like that. It is a wonderful company specializing in selling everything overnight. If they don't have it, they'll get it, but you might have to have it sent in 2 days instead. I forget the exact quote, but the person who introduced me to McMaster-Carr said something like this:

"They have everything. They'll overnight it too. Heck if you needed a horses butt groomed by the queen of England, they'll get it to you, but you might have to pay for express shipping".

Well, it's kind of hard to tell from that site what to get, they don't have any actual pictures when it comes to foam. Plus i could just buy that foam pad i linked to in my first post.

home depot will have foam rod or 3/4" square long pieces, but nothing else.... no sheets or anything like that.

You need low density neoprene for shock isolation. Buy it in sheets from McMaster.

Try your local army surplus store. They always seem to have that stuff.

Haha, that's lame. I don't do any of that, i was just planning to put it on my ddr pad so it doesn't wear out so damn quick, i think NiteWulf was talking about the same thing...guess it could be used for lots of things though. I'm still on the foam hunt, i'll probably have to buy online though

Look in the yellow pages under foam. There are places that specialize in foam. There was a shop in the town I used to live in and there is one here.

Ok, any other ideas?

I'm pretty surprised none of the hardware stores have any at all.
