Thanks Jay, I'll check it out and report back.

: I'm not an expert on this but the grey minicell is a stiff carve
: able type of mini cell foam. There are many mini cell foams some
: are used as cushions and are rubbery and not as easy to carve as
: the grey we all know. So before you send away, call them and
: tell them that you want the same viscosity as the grey stuff
: that kayak stores sell for carving things. There's a serial
: number for the grey stuff which identifies it as a certain
: elasticity and characteristics that it is. When I see a web site
: offering various colors, the red flag goes up because I made
: that mistake myself. The term mini cell just means it won't
: absorb water.
