Shaun Brogdon Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hello all, does anyone have any idea where i can source good quality 'blue foam' or extruded polystyrene for wings and fuses? Ive had a ratch on the net for an idea of prices, but cant seem to find any information. If anyone has any going spare, please let me know. Thanks, Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erfolg Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Blue foam is made by Dow Corning, it is an insulation material. Called Floormate X200. You can buy an 8' * 4' * 2" sheet from "Sheffiield Insulation" for about £11.20. I had to take a panel saw with me to cut it in half, so as to get it in my car. I found all model sources very expensive. I have found that it can be finished with Glass Cloth and Wickes water based varnish to obtain an excellent durable finish.

Den Moran Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Anyone know where I can buy a single sheet of dow corning bluefoam in the Swansea area.please? A Cardiff co. wanted £35.00! I'm using the B&Q white foam (£7.00,8x4) at the moment, but it won't shape/sand like a finer bubble foam, such as pink or blue.

Erfolg Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Have you tried "Sheffield Insulation", it is a Dow Corning Product (the blue stuff) and is sold as "Floormate". Although the same product was sold in the past for walls, other materials seem dominate in this area now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim C Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Try Wickes (Swansea?) , Spaceboard is great pink foam, cuts and sands great, same stuff that B&Q used to stock but no longer do. Single sheets £8.79 **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hi Shaun, Keep an eye on the builders skips. It is astonishing what gets thrown away. ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 In my area the most common insulation material being thrown out is Kingspan type insulation, which is totally useless for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
