Allen,

If you can take what you need out of 18" lengths, we have our remaining inventory of
Colored EVA on sale for $1.50 per length on this page --> []

Color selection is starting to get a little thin...

That is a great price for for tapered eva regardless of color. Allen, if you don't find the colors your'e looking for with Mark, look at Johnny's Pond. Their site shows quite a few colors that I"ve not seen very often. I wish there was a source for eva/hypalon that had a larger color palette. I believe Billy V had mentioned some foam (possibly eva)yoga blocks that were available in many colors, but I never heard if they were suitable as grip material or if anyone had tried them.

HEre's the big Billy 40 EVA secret for 2008 - take a piece of craft foam 2mm thick, put comtact cement on one side, and along one edge. Contact cement a grip about 1" thick. When the contact cement dries on teh craft foam sheet, apply another coat. When it dries wrap it around teh smaller grip - and you have just opened your color choices up tremendously. Just dont' tell anyone you can do that.

I've got some of the Blue, Yellow, Red stuff from @#$%&. I thinkMudhole migh thave a couple of colors, Matagi has a few colors in different densities (super hard like Cork), Versitex might have some too.
