I've never seen the ripple foam any bigger than a 'boat patch' and that's like 8x11 or so. If you find a source for it, please let us know.

the biggest is 8 1/2 x 14 1/2

you should contact millstream directly to see if they will sell larger sizes

 

if all your gonna do is tack it to a wall and stab flies into it, then get a yoga matt

Good morning,

 

I was wondering if you would consider selling a larger piece of your ripple foam – or nubby tack, for that matter…

I’m looking for a piece about 3’ x 3’ to store flies over my bench.

 

Thank you,

Dear Mr. Dorris:

 

Our ripple foam is a molded foam as opposed to a cut foam – the raw molded sheets are only 13”x15”, so I’m afraid I can’t help you. I do have 3/16” thick flat foam that is 48” wide. Nubby Tack is a proprietary product; it is only sold as a liner in our Mill Stream boxes – and the raw sheets are only 10”x 10” when they are molded.

 

Sorry we can’t be of assistance.

I like the yoga matt suggestion. I use a giant foam pool noodle from walmart. Cheap and hold a whole lot of flies.

Why not get several of the larger pieces and put them up like tiles?

You may want to check and see if there is a local foam shop in a city near you they will do custom work for you and might be able to make what you want.

Another suggestion might be to find foam rubber mattress cover. Now THAT would cover a wall. I am sure there are various thicknesses of it and if it doesn't work you will have a great yoga pad!
