I looked at this and know you're up country so didn't bother to answer. Are you going to use chip foam for your boat seats. I've been converted to dry fast foam. It's very light and doesn't hold water. I found when your upholstery gets water logged and rots the stitching

Hey Ed, how you doin?
I'm redoing the seats on Viper, you'll be pleased to hear. If you find any foam give me a shout I'd be interested on an order and getting some too.
I'll give you a shout if I manage to source any too.

Good boys I'm glad my findings haven't fallen on deaf ears. The matey who got me on it put a lump in a bucket of water. Didn't soak up anything.

Always happy to learn from peeps who know stuff.
You don't happen to have a tame supplier too do you? Google seems to keep coming up with folks in the States so far although I have only had coffee breaks to spend looking so far.
Cheers

I used to pick up any bits of foam I needed from a place near a customer of mine on Court Works Industrial Estate, Bridgnorth Road, Madeley. Not sure of the foam company name but they had a unit full of all types of foam and the guy let me pick through the off-cuts (loads of choice) for a few quid. Not been there for a while but might be worth a look if it's not too far from you.

Looks like we might need a few takers. Sheets are pretty big and not too cheap
I'm going to measure mine up this weekend and see what size and quantity I need. It seems they don't offer cut to size or shaped on this product yet so we'll have to deal with that aspect too.

He DID seem a little exercised, I thought. Tax is a PITA, damned if you pay it, damned if you don't.

I've now measured up and only need 0.5m of the 10cm but sheet size is 2m x 1.25m. Do we have any other takers for another 1.5m length of a 10cm deep x 1.25m sheet?
(total sheet cost is £472 btw) I would guess at that price probably not?
Cheers

Here is also one alternative source, no idea of the quality of this stuff though.

Hawke House Ltd ( www.hawkehouse.co.uk ) in Gosport do 3" self draining foam for £16.62 per Sq Ft. according to their price list.
They may do other thicknesses as well.
When I did an upholstery course there they said the only downside of the self draining foam is it may not be as good as protecting you from hard landings as it compresses more, so this might be worth checking if you need the foam to absorb impact. If your set up is such that you tend to stand up in rough conditions it won't be a problem of course!
