Where to get static control foam? [RESOLVED]

I need some static control foam, the type that IC's are mounted in when bought new.

I bought a roll off ebay a few months ago, the thickness was only 1/8 inch. I see that it's still available, but I prefer the thicker type.

Any ideas where to get this stuff?

    Elexp has it.· They have pretty decent prices overall.· I order from them all the time no problems.

    Thank you,

    I had seen in in my mouser catalog, a 2'x3' 1/4" thick for $25 and thought it was pricey, sounds like it may be right in line though.

    ok, I order from Jameco often, that will work out great. It seems like I searched them before, I may just not have been calling it the correct term.

    Thank you both for your input!

    One other approach you might consider is to join the "Official Packrats" club. I have two boxes in my shop where every anti-static envelop and piece of anti-static foam that's used in products I receive is stashed. My wife doesn't care for my attitude, but I strongly believe in the reuse and recycle philosophy. But I'll be damned if I fall into the reduce category, I have too much fun building my toys.
