[sdiy] IC storage foam sheets? ~``~

[flightofharmony at comcast.net]

I get mine from RADAR electronics,
http://www.radarinc.com
They are made by Desco and come in a couple different styles. The ones I 
get are 24"x36"x1/4" high-density foam for $19.00 each.  This foam is 
the best I have found for IC storage.
