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.
