Hey guys just buy those hard flip flops and try to
get nice with someone you know with access to a meat slicer. You can dial any
thickness possible from see through up. Those blades are razor sharp when
tuned.
Just a thought!!

question...
Say, Pete, I am not going to answer your question but ask one. Do
you not use the stuff from Wallyworld? I know that I use it and other
craft store products. They have a few different thicknesses (by the way
they have foam creatures in many thinknesses and colors. Harder to use
but interesting). In addition, the foam used for insulation of pipes
seems great and has more air. The last foam I have is flip flops
(slippers in Hawaii) and these come in various thicknesses. Now tell me,
if you don't use these why and where do you get your foam? Thanks,
Mike
