Blue foam sheet
« on: February 20, 2016, 12:02:23 PM »
With depressing lack of originality, I'm going to copy Harry's technique to make some dungeon tiles. But I'm having trouble finding 10mm sheet foam. I have loads of blocks of blue around the place but no sheets. The only eBay supplier I've found seems a tad on the expensive side. Can anyone recommend any decent suppliers to get me off the ground?

I get mine from here...

But beware that the boxes cannot be made smaller, it's a box or nothing.

Not bought anything from them but browsed this site after someone linked to them for suitable glue for blue foam on another thread, and they sell blue foam in different sizes

This is where mine came from. Underfloor heating. They have a range of thicknesses.

£4.00 a 2x4 sheet

Looking forward to seeing what you get up to. :D

In Sweden you can get them quite cheap at DIYs. It comes in bales and is used is used as insulation under "parkett" wood floors.
