750sx - if you orders some stuff from there let me know how it is i need to get some underpadding soon
why would you put less foam in the foot hold area? I want to slap people when I see that.Not that I doubt the ability of the other stuff though - I think if you get a fairly dense closed-cell material you are good to go.
The place I found has different thicknesses too - I am looking at getting the 1/2" thickness for the main floor area, then also some 1/4" for in the foothold area - I know I can just sand down the 1/2" stuff but if I dont have to why do it? Will still sand the transition points down.

I'm starting a new trend, more foam in the footholds!
You should call the foam places and order some samples. I ordered samples from a couple places and the microcell foam is so soft I don't think you can sand it. That stuff is like memory foam mattress. It takes shape and stays. The rebound is super slow.
The Hydro-Turf 25mm under padding is actually about 20.50mm thick and has a density of 4.5 lbs per square foot.
The regular microcell foam is about 19mm in the 3/4" size and has a density of 2.0 lbs. per square foot.
The regular neoprene 3/4" padding is about 19mm thick and has a density of 5.5lbs per square foot.
The high quality neoprene 3/4" padding is 17mm thick and has a density of 9 lbs per square foot.
If you have limited room in your footholds, I would recommended the high quality neoprene 17mm padding.
Also the neoprene pad will outlast the regular microcell foam.
HT sells it only in full sheets, which cost 80 bucks.
A bit too rich for my blood.
been buying half sheets for years.
Hmmm, maybe I'll have to look a little more at the specs on the stuff - but isn't that what HT is using?
I am rethinking it, appreciate the feedback, just what I love about this place!
but what's up with HydroTurf... can't find the B-stock on their website anymore? Did they realize nobody wanted to pay full price?
