I haven't watched this thread very closely, but I think you would want to
investigate ethafoam that is not being sold for museum/archival purposes.
If I remember right, a few years back there was a large debate about some
types of ethafoam that was not safe because of the chemicals used to create
it.  Does anyone remember more about this?

If you have an IKEA in your area, they sell rolls of it for use underneath
Laminate flooring.  It is the same stuff (at a considerably lesser cost)
than the Ethafoam which you would purchase from an archival supply company.

Subject: ethafoam rolls
 
Can any provide vendor information for a supplier of ethafoam sheeting  on a
roll.  In other words the large rolls of ethafoam.  We just used up our
enormous roll, and after searching UP, Light IMpressions, Gaylord,
HOllingers and Metal edge we have had no luck in finding any.  We found a
company in Canada, but would prefer if possible to use an american company.
Thanks in advance.
