Need sources for foam rubber (or similar product) to use for molding leather using a hydrolic press.

Unless someone has good reason to talk me out of it, this is what I've decided to go with:

Got them in yesterday...wow, FREE overnight delivery...Zoro rocks!!  I didn't expect the stuff to be so dense, but then it's my first rodio with this process.

Just waiting for the steel plate I've ordered now.

I'm told by more than one experienced holster maker that my 6-ton press should do the job.....if I'm not happy I might need to step up to the 12-ton. Harbor Freight is just 10 minutes up the road.

if you build a vacuum table [ pan]  and used  1/8 in latex sheeting  for the bladder you should be able to use that . never molded holsters but i build custom ankle braces and molded with vac. and it worked sweet
