Jim Krause said:The foam that I'm speaking of comes in sheets to be used as insulation. From what I read here on "The Gauge" its not available in CA and maybe NV has similar regulations.
The pink and blue colors are trademarks. It is commonly used by us model railroaders as a scenery material because its light weight, easy to cut and shape with hand tools and can be glued together with carpenters glue to form mountains. You can also paint it with latex paint to get a basic earth color. Generally, the white foam such as is used for packaging doesn't work well since it tends to crumble when being shaped. I'm surprised that someone at Lowes or Home Depot isn't at least familiar with the pink and blue foam.
Ok well neither Lowes or Home Depot had foam that was all pink or blue. The foam I picked up is white with a blue film over the top. I bought four 2" 4' x 2' pieces so I can do a 4' x 8' table if needed. What I will do is probably cut the strong piece of 4 x 8 cardboard I have at work in half & glue the foam to each half to have two 4 x 4 pieces.
