: I have heard a lot about "Minicell Foam". I've done some research
: on the net and called around. I think I'll have to bite the bullet and
: just spend the money on it. But I got a quote on some close cell foam from
: a local industrial supplier. Price is really good about $45.00 for 1/2 x
: 42 x 72. The stuff is a Neoprene foam pt#SCE41B, SCE42B, SCE43B, and
: SCE45B. The ASTM-D-1058-67 Spec is SCE-41, SCE-42, SCE-43, SCE-45. I think
: it is Manufactured by Rahn Ind. How does this type foam compare to
: Minicell? Will it hold up? Color? Feel?

: Thanks

To carve a seat bottom you want 3-1/4" thick Grey L2000.

Go to John R. Sweet Co., do a net search to find his web site.

All the best,
Rob
