Best Place to Order Cheap Foam

Post by keithmasill81 »

I am looking for a good place to order foam for outfitting online. Unless you know of a place near Baltimore/DC that sells it for cheaper than the local kayak shops. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Foam n more is quite reasonable (Foamforyou.com) Shipping is usually what's a killer!

Sweet Composites' Minicell prices are quite reasonable. I suspect that you can pick up the goods at Cabin John (just outside DC) and eliminate the shipping costs (which are actually not that bad for a half-bun).

I use a LOT of Harbor Freight Anti Fatigue Floor Mats, a LOT.

They sell for $8-10 (-20% with coupon) a 4 pack. Each piece works out to be approx 23"x23"x7/16" after using a belt sander to remove the texture that is seared onto one side.

I just did a C1 conversion for $40 using Harbor Freight floor mats.

Just being willing to try is half the battle.

I typically order from Sweet Composites these days - great personal service, good fair prices, and yes, they do help support this site in addition to being CBoaters themselves:)
Keep the C!

Thanks for all the replies. I opted for Sweet since they were local and I can pick it up at their warehouse tomorrow. Great customer service and the prices were more than fair.
