Foam Needed

A few years ago I bought some 1/4" medium density white foam that I used to line my refractor box. Due to a computer crash, the information was lost as to suppliers. Also, with that purchase I obtained some 2" thick foam for EP cases. Can anyone lead me to a source of said foam?

Home Depot, lowes, etc. carry a variety of size, thickness, and types.

When I needed some foam for a couple of eyepiece cases I asked the Guy at the local packaging firm where I buy my boxes. His prices looked about like that mail order place except that he did not sell one third sheets. Rather he looked in his left overs, found a 30"x48" piece and gave it to me.

Also, forget the pluck foam, it comes apart, solid foam lasts.
