Good Source for 1" foam?
I'm looking for 1" foam. Can be whatever as long as it isn't friable. Making some doors.
Anyone have a good source?
I only need 5 sheets so nobody wants to sell it to me.
Also need 15 gallons of epoxy/hardener.

Anywhere. But need the foam in Florida.
The place in Burbank doesn't have the right foam.

I usually use Viking Plastics in Edmonton for resin but it looks poem they don’t sell foam anymore.

Re: Good Source for 1" foam?
So what exactly is the right kind of foam you're looking for?
rigid, floppy, strength, insulating?
been to Menards / Lowes / Home Depot?
big sheets are crazy pricey to ship, best to buy local

Re: Good Source for 1" foam?
Ok. Sorry for the lack of clarity. Foam for boats. Airex, Divinycell, Corecell, Kledgecell, even balsa.
Making doors.
I only need 5 sheets so no one is willing to sell it to me.
Not worth their time or effort apparently.

Yes. Both the big sliding exterior doors (under a canopy where no rain touches them) as well as interior cabin doors.

Re: Good Source for 1" foam?
What about a plastic like hdpe/hmhdpe? Should be easy to find in hardware stores, relatively cheap and just needs to be cut and shaped, hardware install. Comes in 4x8 sheets and varrying thicknesses.

Re: Good Source for 1" foam?
Thanks for the thought but
HDPE is 59lbs per cubic foot.
Corecell and Divinycell is 5lbs per cubic foot.
Not trying to ruin my boats performance.
