Hi Mate to the best of my knowlege Davy gets his foam from a craft shop in Ayr but for the life of me i can`t remeber the name of the shop.I would imagine most craft shops would have stock of a similar foam though.

Hobbycraft do it in loads of different colours, 3mm thick. Sticky backed, and plain.

Cost a bit more than 10p a sheet though (I think it was about 60p). I got some a cople of weeks ago to line a few fly storage boxes and it was on 3 for the price of 2.
