Default Isolation Foam

I am tired of paying the outlandish prices for the Isolation Foam from the RC Vendors to wrap my batteries and receivers in. Has anyone found and alternate source or place to buy this? What is everyone else using?

Default RE: Isolation Foam

I have been using the foam seal tape used for truck caps. Its got adhesive on one side, is very dense and works real good. A couple bucks will get a whole roll of the stuff. I use it for anything I need to isolate from vibration. This roll is 2" wide x 1/4 thick. If I need it thicker just go another wrap around...Walt

The foam is latex foam rubber and is the same type used in padded bras. I don’t know where it might be found.

I use the foam used in furniture padding. Been using it for many years without issue.
