I know very little about density numbers on eva foam. Have been bitten before on @#$%& with super spongy stuff. Help me out on the hardness appropriateness for rod building.
I usually buy from Muddle or Billy's nerb site. No clue what those densities are? Also my friend contacted a eva company and they are asking what "Shore" he needs. Anyone know about that? Thanks!! Marcus McCleery Re: EVA FOAM "SHORE" density

What do you want to know is the durometer hardness. I would not use any EVA with less than a hardness value of 75. Figure cork to be about 90 that should give you a range to work within.
The more firm the EVA is, the heavier it will be. However, a firm grip is worth a tad bit more weight in my opinion. ……….. Re: EVA FOAM "SHORE" density

HFF sells EVA sticks that are most dense I've seen.Tons of color and pattern options. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
