    Jun 14, 2012 - Where can you buy EVA foam sheets in the UK? #1

    i know that you can get some eva foam sheets from coscraft.

    But they ran out of 3mm eva foam sheets.

    I've looked all over google, and cannot find a single place which offers eva foam sheets for sale in sizes of at least 1m.

    If anybody knows where to get some EVA foam sheets let me know please.

    i'm after 1mm and 3mm.

    thanks

    I think you might want to change your thread title a little. A topic like this does not make it necessary to swear. And you posted in the wrong subforum, you might want to familiarize yourself a bit better with the RPF forum structure

    I've never used anything sold as 'EVA' - I posted a link to my whole Iron man suit I made from Plastazote.

    Plastazote is 'Closed cell cross-linked polyethylene foam': Zotefoams: Plastazote

    EVA is 'Ethylene-vinyl acetate': Ethylene-vinyl acetate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Essentially they are both poly/ethylene foam...

    what does the plastazote feel like? is it similar to eva foam?

    if its similar, i might try that.

    As I say I've bought anything that's sold as EVA, so I can't tell you, but as far as I can tell it's very similar if not the same.

    Which thicknesses are you using?
    If you are still buying this one: Thames Valley Supplies
    It's from 2mm to 25mm... which one?
