That's great BT. I'm wondering if they might have indicated which weight it should be on a packing slip? Not that it would make any difference if they sent the wrong weight unless that's why you got a free sheet of 6mm.  Anyway, the prices are sure good.  The packing slip is correct to my order. I think it just got mixed up. Whatever the case, the most important thing to me is I have some good foam to ruin, I mean build with ;D |

Humm...I wonder what the deal is with that foam?? With my sheet weights above, also all 36" x 24", 3.2 ounces for the 1.3 would be about 91 grams. The 1.9 white would be about 140 grams. The 1.9 black about 170 grams. 107-109 grams seems like an odd weight, unless I got some odd stuff?!?!? I wonder how consistent this stuff is? ? Humm... Kent |

Kent As light as this stuff is, I'll bet there is quite a bit of variance between manufacturers. It wouldn't take much. In fact, humidity alone could make a heck of a differance. I double checked the dimensions. All mine are 23 7/8 by 35 7/8. I don't have my calipers to measure thickness, but it looks pretty close. Also, I wonder how accurate my ebay scale is? |

It appears there's about 33 grams of difference or about 23.55% difference between BT's and Kent's and Sol's sheets. That's a big difference. Maybe it is BT's scales or he got some of that special Area 51 foam.  |

Maybe it is BT's scales or he got some of that special Area 51 foam. There is a ton of differance in this stuff, judging from the responses I got here and at RCGroups. One responcer weighed a 12x36 1.9 @ 102 grams. By Kent's info, it would be around 70.5 or 83.4 depending on white or black. My stuff is 107 to 109 grams for 24x36 which would end up 17.83 grams per square foot compaired to Kent's @ 15 grams per sq ft. Anyway, I think I have my answer. I have 4 sheets of the same stuff. |

Anyway, the prices are sure good.
