Hi Robin, I made a block pillow out of ethafoam planks from Hollister Metal Edge, an archival supply house...it's the dense kind that they use for archival storage...2.2 lbs/cubic foot. The pins go in easily and are held firmly. http://www.hollingermetaledge.com/modules/store/index.html?dept=1077&cart=134 740716923520402
The planks I bought are white. I also have a chunk of blue from packaging, which is a little less dense. And I have some that is even less dense that I got from the IT guys at work...packaging from computers. The archival kind seems to self-heal better and doesn't break down. Hope this helps. Peg watching the last of the light fade from the sky...it's cooling down and the crickets are chirping slower ________________________________ From: Robin D <human.m...@gmail.com> To: lace@arachne.com Sent: Tue, September 11, 2012 4:01:09 PM Subject: [lace] Ethafoam density Help! I want to order some ethafoam for 2 projects. One is I want to make a block pillow. Does anyone know the right density to order? I've been told the heaviest is really hard to pin into, but when I went online I found not 2 or 3 choices, but like 6 density choices. Is it worth buying a pre-cut pillow and then just getting the foam for the other project. Thanks a hear of time for the help.
