Title: Where can i find EPDM foam rubber in ottawa?
Post by: pcarriere on May 14, 2009, 02:25:41 PM
I'm trying to do the following sump using pressure locked baffles: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume_3/cav3i1/Baffles/bafflesart.htm

it requires some Marine/Outdoor EPDM foam rubber. Anyone came across that in Ottawa? i went to home depot and Rona and the only EDPM foam i saw was for door/windows. Did not look like the one he is using on the baffles and not sure it will seal water

any insight?

Home Depot, in the plumbing section. They now carry a new type of pipe insulation it's actually EPDM rubber, and has  a sticky strip along one edge that you could trim to the length you need. It's about $8 for a 6 foot length.

Did you ever manage to find the EPDM foam?  I'm looking for some to do the pressure locking baffles as well.

Thx
