Foam core

Hotrod99 · #1 08-31-2005, 01:47 PM

New to the site so forgive me if this has been asked before...

Where is the best place to buy foam core sheets? 1/4" and 1/2"

Thanks

or is everyone getting it for free somewhere?

Any help?

thanks

Hotrod,

Unfortunately, structural core-foams are anything but free, but don't try to substitute with cheap stuff not intended for coring though.

Thanks for the info. What is the Avg cost of a 4x8 sheet 1/2" thick?

Thanks!

Hotrod,

At my local supplier a sheet (8 by 4 feet) of 1/2" H-80 Divinycell retails for $228.13 plus tax. As I said, anything but free.
