So a search it read that they were out then I read that it was called overstock?? I don't know
The very best padding is EVA foam. Its the same stuff thats in running shoes and is commonly sold as floor padding. It is very light and will not absorb oil or water. Pepboys was selling it in 1/2" thick squares real cheap but now only have it in 3/8".
EVA is available in several densities but is always light weight compared to everything else. It has held up well as long as its skinned with turf.[/quote]
I think that's the important thing to remember when talking about compression set. None of them have a problem once covered with turf. I like minicell just fine because it's VERY soft and retains almost no water. Good(and rare) insight.:beerchug:
Hey what's anyone's real experience (NOT what you heard from your cousin's best friend's brother, ha ha) with the closed cell foam rolls from Walmart (the excersize mats, the thick one isabout 1/2", the light one about 1/4")?
I'm wondering if ithey retain water that much? I don't want to put this stuff down and then my matting and then discover it sponges the water and sits wet underneath all the time. The WM stuff seems to be good, but the cells are clearly not as dense as the HT stuff.
Also, any trouble with keeping it glued down with the ridges that are molded into it? I'd rather spend some extra $ and do it right than have to redo TWO boats completely, risking ruining the turf in the process.
If this stuff is not that good, any suggestions as to where to get it? Kmart has some stuff too, and I dont think it has the molded ridges...
Thanks
So the minicell stuff you showed earlier is what you used? (not necessarily the foot square pieces, but the material) You recommend?
Not trying to be cheap, just trying to get the same as HT offers-for cheapER.
