closed cell foam... pardon my ignorance

I test paddled my Guillemot S&G this weekend... the canoeing world may have lost a member. This was my first time in a kayak of any sort, despite many years of paddling, and I was amazed at the effeciency and responsiveness.

Anyway, I now need to install bulkheads and outfit the cockpit. Is minicel foam the same thing as closed-cell foam? Any good suppliers on the web?

Thanks.
