I'm after a long sheet of Pro Grip. All the normal places only do sheets up to 900x1400mm. I'm after a sheet 2200x 450mm. Any ideas? Or any other pro grip style foam suppliers that might do good size foam sheet.

I think the medical supplier does standard sheets. You could look at a wind surf shop for boom grip material, or just cut down standard sheets with a scalpel

John, how big are the standard sheets from your medical supplier? I have found a medical supplier that does 2m x 1m which is great but I need a NHS number to order. Which obviously I don't have. Good value though, only £7.50 for 3mm 2m x1m. In blue, red or white. http://www.algeos.com/acatalog/Algeofoam.htmlI'm guessing but this foam sounds like it's the same stuff as Pro Grip. |

We have ordered direct from Algeos on several occasions.
There is no need for an NHS number, just a credit card and possibly an assurance you are a company...
If you get no joy, PM the order and I'll happily try for you. R

I'm struggling to think of a medical use for progrip. Any ideas what it's supposed to be for?

There must be a suitable source of large sheets of EPDM foam. Why not buy loads and have it laser cut to size. You could make a fortune undercutting the sailboat specific stuff!  |
