Try looking inside a box that some kind of electronic equipment
comes in, they sometimes use closed cell plastic foam for packing.
Like inside a Compaq computer box?
Or look in the yellow pages under plastics. I bought a big piece
of it from Cadillac Plastics in Albuquerque years ago and I don't
remember it being very expensive.
