Buy blocks of ethafoam from Steve parton. a trader on here. or get booby chord.from tackle dealers maybe s parton sells it .then just cut blocks off it.I use cutters stuck in a hand drill ,gives excellent tubes of differing sizes.
I remember reading on here that folks were buying yoga mats.to chop up.

Got a yoga mat in Sainsbury's recently for £2. Glued into video boxes, it also makes a good fly box.

They don't work. they take on water and just sit 'in' the surface.I have tried many types.

I tried tying a falkus wake lure for Seatrout.with earplugs.+as a motorcyclist I have used many types of earplugs.and trying to save costs washed them.most were neutral density.
