You could try Acorn Paper Products and ask for Robin.
They can provide large planks of PE foam in various densities.

Hello-  (apologies if you get this twice due to cross-posting)

 

I'm looking for a source of ethafoam (or similar) planks.  Most
conservation supply catalogs sell a 6-pack of 12x24x2" planks, but I
need something a bit larger, so I'm hoping to find a source from which I
can buy small quantities of larger planks, of appropriate quality for
storing artifacts.  The standard full-size plank available from
industrial suppliers is apparently 108" long.  Can anyone recommend a
supplier of "conservation grade" ethafoam in these large plank sizes?
If it's from somewhere within Southern California (driving range) so
much the better.  

 

Thank you for any suggestions (or warnings!)
