Title: Black high density foam?
Post by: Wendy on 20 November, 2008, 08:24:50 am

I'm looking for a piece of black foam, a bit like a camping mat or the old style Challenge closed cell foam seatpads.  It's for a head rest cushion on my tailbox.  Any suggestions?

A most excellent alternative is the closed cell foam used to make 'noodles' etc. It is not black but it is very light and has a very handy rounded shape with a good sweatproof finish. It can be cut and glued to shape.

I've got some about 25mm thick. How big a piece do you need? I can post it or bring it down on Saturday if I go to Woolly & Pellli's pootle.

Thanks guys, esp. John!  I think 25mm would be too thick, a mousemat is a brill idea.
