Title: eva foam
Post by: Topshot on September 17, 2014, 02:50:00 AM
Does anybody know a source for custom eva foam. I've been looking at mudhole and all the other rod supply sources and can't find what I'm looking for

Billy makes killer custom EVA grips  He just knows how to glue up designs before they are formed.  He is extremely creative.  I so wish I had his talent.

"what I'm looking for"

I think that is the key question, You can have someone make what you envision, that Alibaba site has some wild import stuff from overseas, and you can get adventurous by making your own. There are a few vids on youtube about it where some guys glue together different colors, make designs,etc. Then with a makeshift lathe using a drill they shape it and sand it, looks pretty easy to me, EVA is soft and should be a breeze to work with. I'd wear a mask though. ;)

My Grips should be on the first few pages.  Crossed Ridgid Pipe Wrenches is it.
