I've used PVC and Ozark trail blue camp pad for my Belegarth weapons for the last 2 years and it has served me well. However the foam is becoming hard to find, as WalMart no longer sells it online and my local stores are usually out of stock.
First, is it becoming extinct? Can someone recommend another source?
Second, is there a similarly priced and viable alternative? No problems with longevity so not looking for 4# boxed cores just looking for 2# in 3/8" - 1/2" thickness... Emailed foamfactory.com this morning about samples of 2.2# polyethylene and 2# cross-linked polyethylene. Any suggestions?
Third, I've heard many good things about Goodwinds fiberglass as cores, no problems there but is their kitespar reliable? (I assume the epoxy-wound fiberglass tubes are known as kitespar).
Thanks in advance!
