Or try here; Plaztazote and Ethafoam are very similar.

An interesting thread this, I am also looking for a foam supplier. I want to get some foam that I can make slits in to hold the fly - in the manner of C&F boxes. They will be big flies for a fortcoming overseas trip. Does anyone know what type of foam C&F use, would it be Plastazote and if so, what kind of density?
