In my search for polyurethane boards to make a plug, I am looking for low density. Approximately 4 to 6 Lbs. Cubic Ft (64 to 96 KG/Cu Meter) I have found a few off-shore suppliers including one each in UK, and Canada. I have made inquiries on pricing vie email or web response forms but I am not getting responses from the USA supplier after I was referred to them by the manufacturer. I would prefer finding a USA supplier to avoid the high cost of shipping and any possible duties or import restrictions. Can anyone please point me to a responsive supplier in the USA for this material?
For reference and perhaps to answer one key question, I do all of my research via the internet at night because I work during the day, so phone conversations is not an option for me.

Contact building supply companies. Closed cell rigid polyurethane foam is often used in the building industry for insulation.

It seems that in the USA the commonly available rigid board insulation is polystyrene. And i thought I have read that Polystyrene would not be compatible with the various resin materials used for making molds.
Any experience in making plugs here in the USA would be appreciated.
