Re: [RCSE] California Foam -Home Depot?

Can anyone tell me what foams are available at the Home Depot's (or equiv.
stores) in your state?
In Fresno, CA, there is a company called Valley Foam that uses foam to 
produce various objects such as decorative columns, animals etc. for 
commercial purposes.  I've been able to get free scrap 1 lb foam pieces 
large enough to cut wing cores.  I have also bought 2 and 3 pound pieces cut 
to my dimensions.  They get the foam in 4'x4'x10' blocks.  It is mostly 
white foam.  If you check in you area you might be able to find a similar 
company.  The price will be higher than Home Depot.

[RCSE] California Foam -Home Depot?

2004-12-06 Thread Scobie Puchtler
Hey CA folks, I'm trying to help out a young hobbyist I met this past
weekend in CA.
Can anyone tell me what foams are available at the Home Depot's (or equiv.
stores) in your state?
Any EPS, or blue or pink foams for learning to cut foam on and building some
non-bagged prototype level models?

In Chicago's north 'burbs pink foam can be hhad from Home Depot, 
Menards, and probably many others. I've found blue foam only at Lowes so 
far.

All I've ever seen in Home Depot  Lowes is white foam in 1 thick 
sheets, tho just recently I found some blue fan-fold foam at Lowes.

I don't know about Northern California but here in LoCal the only foam you
can get is thin, 1 or so. I've seen white and blue.

(We just don't get the winters, you see -- no need for massive layers of
insulation.)

I'd be interested in hearing about foam sources, I'd like to get some to
start cutting. Its probably available from builder's merchants, suppliers
to the trade, rather than the big-box home stores.
