Title: Can anyone tell me a good supplier for floatable foam 3 or 4 inch thick sheets
Post by: timbernook on July 11, 2010, 12:17:29 pm
Hello Everyone, do any of you know of a wholesale supplier of 4foot squares of 3 or 4 inch thick foam coated with a color or just even in white? I have seen them around the lakes used as a floating table or to float around on. There is a place close to us that always has stacks of them for sale resale and the price ranges from $80.00 for white and $100.00 for all colors except pink and $125.00 for pink.
I have an idea brewing but need to find a cheaper supplier than the one nearby.
Thank You for looking!
Lori

You mean styrofoam (the rigid foam they use for packing electronics in cardboard boxes - usually in the corners), or closed-cell seating foam (usually found nowdays only in yoga exercise mats or ski flotation vests)?  Both float quite well.
