Stupid Close Cell Foam Question

Post by RenJunkie »

Where do I get it? Is there a special type of close cell foam? I assume I can snag it at Walmart. Other than being 1/2" thick and closed cell, anything I need to know?

I want to do a period liner, but I gotta find out if my new lid fits my head. I figure foam is the fastest way.

Thanks.

Hi!

If you only plan to do a "test cap" for a period liner any camping pad of proper thickness should do the job. However, if you want to fight with the foam liner I'd make sure to buy some quality foam, i.e. evazote (EVA). In the past I've bought my foam from a specialized outdoor store in town.

Cheers,
William
