Try a building supply company htat specializes in lath and plaster products. Plastering contractors use a lot of foam shapes on their jobs. Chances are that if you find such a building supply company, they will be able to obtain what you are looking for at a reasonable price.

Default Blue foam

Concrete suppliers carry up to 4 inch blue, pink, and gray foam. they also carry all the gadgets that is used to form concrete.
I think the people I use run a shop for concrete contractors. You might also contact the Styrofoam company and ask them for a list of business that buy from them in your area.

Default 2" & 3" pink and blue foam

T45,

I'm up here at MSU in Aerospace Engineering; we use a good bit of pink and blue foam in sizes like you're looking for. I think the guys get it in Memphis somewhere. E-mail me and I'll see what I can do about getting you some, or I'll at least find out exactly where we get it.

My brother has been using 2 inch pink foam and gluing two pieces together with a spray glue . It is a very strong bond . I think what he uses is a glue called 77 and I think it is made by 3M.
Would this work for you ?
