where to buy 1/8 compressed foam ?

[left52side]

Looking for some insight on where to buy A roll of 1/8 compressed foam from or just A piece of it.
I have checked on various online ripstopbytheroll type places to no avail.
My goal is to make A few sleeping pads like the ones gossamer gear sells.
Thanks in advance.

i tried unsuccessfully to find exactly this for a few hours a while back. Could not find a source. Finally caved and ordered a roll from gossamer

Try www.oware.com

Got several from them years ago-still going strong-gray closed cell foam makes great thermal barrier.

If OW, GG, or Lawson doesn't have what you want check this out http://www.foamforyou.com/volara_foam.htm I bought a 60" wide by 8 ' long piece of 1/8" and 1/4" each and made 4 pads. You want CCF.

Big box stores sell it in their carpeting departments.

It's not CCF. It will absorb water. All I've seen is made from chemically treated recycled foam car seats or recycled felt that has a WR face layer that delaminates with use...all of which are heavy and/or bulky. Something in the manufacturing process, perhaps the chemicals, give all of it I've ever seen a weird to me offensive odor. Some family members have been in the flooring store biz for decades.

What you want is 1/8" EVA. (<----that's a link)

Scroll to second one, which is the EVA.

This available in the carpet dept. along with the hardwood flooring:

That's the only possible thing I could think of after having posted you might be referring. TU for the correction Zelph. I thought 2.5 mm thickness was less than 1/8 of an inch. Here I was incorrectly assuming it was just alchy stoves your were an expert in.

How has that worked for you? Never tried it.

Wood stoves are my expertise, alchy stoves are my hobby. Sgt. Rock, Dances with Mice and Skidsteer were my inspiration in stove design.

I use the underlayment in my car camping tent as an entry carpet to protect the floor fabric.

Is it red? Rolling out the red carpet to the tent treatment?

Found this on ebay today and ordered two yards.

that's what I've ordered in 1/8 and 1/4 thicknesses..the Volara. What I like is it's rollable and foldable in these thicknesses. Hope it works for you.
