Default wapsi foam cylinders

Hi Guys - A bit of help please - Im looking for Wapsi Foam Cylinders in 3/32" and 1/8" - Various colours, Black - Tan - Brown - Yellow - White - I know they are available from Wapsi but they dont sell to Joe Public.
I have stock of 1/16" - but cant find a U.K supplier for the other sizes.
Any info on suppliers would be much appreciated.

Paul.

Job done.

Hi Jim - Done that - No good for what I want - The foam block is not as dense as the Wapsi foam and and is no good when drilled down to smaller diameters.
Thanks Jim,
Paul
