Thanks to both!

I can find the 1" foam but I would like to get the thicker sheets that I have viewed in some of the pix shown in the forums. thanks

Hey Chris, Don't feel alone. I am brand new at this my self. This forum has really helped me in a number of ways. Listen to these railroaders and you can't go wrong. I'll try to follow the last suggestion with the cork. My problem is impatience. Maybe that is because I'm 70. At least I will...
