Foam rubber in Comfort Strapps---where to buy?

[JimmyM]

I want to buy a piece of that really thick black foam that Comfort Strapp uses, only a couple inches wider. The only place on the web I've found that has it is a place called Reed Rubber, but they sell to manufacturers and industry pros and seem like they couldn't be bothered to sell me a 5 or 6 inch piece. So if any of you know where to get it, thanks in advance.

Bump.

Have you tried your local stores? I think you may be able to find a store locally that would sell that kind of material. Is it foam rubber as in the stuff pool toys/mats are made from? Surely a local store would have it.

Otherwise, I doubt the rubber would be worth the money it costs to post it from an online store...

[JimmyM]

Only hardware, fabric, and crafts stores. That's not an easy thing to find, though. I find things that are kinda sort of in the ballpark but ultimately won't work for one reason or another.

Isnt it neoprene, like wetsuits are made out of?

[JimmyM]

Yes. Rubber, neoprene, it's all the same to me.

Go to Value Village or St. Vincents and look for old wetsuits. There should be plenty in a top or pants.

Yoga mats are a dense closed cell rubber, you can find them almost every department or sporting goods stores. maybe $10-12. Easy enough to cut up to whatever you need.

Yoga mats aren't NEARLY as thick as the wetsuit neoprene that Comfort Strapps use...
