Foam?

Postby Sam Nankivell » Thu Mar 29, 2007 7:20 am

Does anyone know where I can get high-impact foam? I live in Ottawa, and would preferably like the name of a close supplier.

It seems no matter where I look, I can only find basic insulation foam.

I live in Louisville, Kentucky but I found my Landau through Baer Fabrics. Couldn't say if they are in your area or not but you can look them up on the web. Most any huge fabric store that caters to both industrial and basic consumer needs should carry the foam you are looking for.

I found my Landau foam through a car upholstery shop. It was only one in about 10 that I called, but I have a feeling that some didn't know what Landau foam was. A few did know, but just didn't have it. So it might be worth looking there too.

I ordered mine from Seattle Fabrics and got it pretty quickly. It looks expensive, but you can make many weapons from a yard. You'll want to keep some around to make repairs too.

I think I got the MLC flotation foam.
