In Response To: Material: Sources for PU foam (Kris Buttermore)

: I'm looking for sources for rigid polyurethane (or comparable) foam for
: prototype/model/plug work - that will sell small quantities (like 1/4
: sheets where shipping won't kill me - or located in South Fl where I can
: pick up). 3/4" and maybe 1 1/2" thicknesses - 6 lb or maybe 10
: lb density.

: I know that somewhere, probably locally given the marine industry, people
: have what I need as scrap! Finding them is another matter. Dealers I'm
: finding aren't really catering to small model/prototype order.

Why not get some 8 pound 2 part pourable foam

make your own as needed in the sizes you actually want
