closed cell foam

I am looking for closed cell foam for bulkheads. I have some closed cell rubber foam that I think will work nicely for a seat, but man is it heavy! I got a 4'x4'x1" sheet that I swear weighs more than my kayak! I've seen some very light and somewhat stiff foam suitabe for bulkheads but the pieces are not big enough. What do i use and where can I get it in Canada?

Try insulation foam.
