My family and I recently bought a TV stand and, to my delight, it was packed in some nice pieces of white packing foam that I've used to widen my small 4x6-ish layout. I used two long strips of white foam that were 2" thick, 3.5" wide and 17" long. I was able to widen about 2/3 to 3/4 of the length of the layout with these.
I now need another mere 8" length of this 2" thick by 3.5" wide foam but I've run out. I'm trying to do this as cheaply as possible so I don't want to go out to Home Depot and buy a 2x8' section to chop up. Does anyone know of any places that might sell the original 2x 3.5 x 17" sections? as another one of those would be ideal. There must be a factory that spews these out for packing and mailing suppliers. I did some googling and it seems that courier and mail houses might be my best option. AFAIK, places like Home Depot don't seem to sell anything smaller than the 2 x 8' (x2" thick) size.
Thanks in advance.
