I’ve been getting the total run around trying to purchase eps. Barely anybody seems to want to sell it to me, and those that do want an arm and leg for it ($220 for a 2’ x 2’ x 10’ block). I’ve been talking with one company to buy a 39 in x 49 in x 16 foot chunk of it. What I am wondering is that if I bought the big block would anybody be interested in buying smaller blocks from me (I think the same size block would be $80-100)? I forgot to mention, I live in Orange County CA.

I had a similar problem here in the UK, this is how I did it: Phoned the eps manufacturer and they gave me a list of stockists in my area, mainly builders merchants. I phoned one who was nearest me, and even though they didn’t stock the size I wanted 8 x 4 x 1 ft they put it in with their next order thus saving me massive delivery costs. They then delivered to my door, only had to wait a few weeks until their next order. Cost to me plus incl delivery £40.00GB and I can get 4 boards from it!!
Worth a try

Thanks for tip, but unfortunately by in large the people I’ve dealt with have not been very interested in helping me out. I can’t tell you how often I’ve been told that it wasn’t worth their time. I’m leaning toward buying the bulk foam and having a lifetime of blanks.
