you could try your local hardware store or similar for Foamex

Its what most signmakers use and is available in 8 or 10' lengths. its like butter to cut and comes in many sizes from 3mm to 10mm thick. Ive used it loads of times and its silly cheap - £24 for an 8x4' sheet!

Just google for Foamex

Dave
p.s. if you cant find a local supplier, most sign shops will sell you a sheet anyway!
