neoprene

can i get neoprene at a local home improvement store, (lowes, home depot, etc) or do i have to get it online?

60 durometer right?

Brad, I've not seen it anywhere like Home Depot - also, unless you're planning on not having your construction last more than about 10 years, you should look at EPDM rubber - more expensive than neoprene, but lasts closer to 25 years under the same circumstances. 60 duro is typical, 50 will work also.

One of the reasons the Auralex U-boats seem expensive is that they ARE made from EPDM for longevity.

Here's a possible source of EPDM, but you'd have to contact them to see if they sell small enough quantities -

Hope that helped... Steve
