I dont have any problems with polyfoam, some do..

I was at the muppet exhibit (again) & was noticing that most everything was made with polyfoam, so I now feel good about my sticky guns.

Use what ever you got! some say reticulated foam wich is probably better to work with but I don't have a supplier close by so I use aploshstery foam, foam I can get at a Fabric store.

I would think that Reticulated would be more Breathable, and lite due to it's more porus nature.

For me it's just not worth the hassle to order off line and deal with shipping bulky material. So I go to Hancocks and by it by the yard.

Southeast Foam Fubber Company

I usually get 1/2 inch poly-foam at Hancocks Fabric due to that being the only location close to home that carries any kind of foam.
I have also ordered foam by the roll from Southeastern Foam Rubber Company in High Point, North Carolina. Depending on how much foam you need. :smile:
