Where's the best deal on lead foam? Best I've found is Soundown but their price seems awfully high to me especially shipped to Dallas,TX.

Although they are generally a little above the price of more specialized suppliers (their fastenings are more expensive than Jamestown, for example) they're always worth checking. http://www.mcmaster.com Since shipping lead around the countryside is expensive, you could always make your own, with lead flashing from Home Despot.....

Converting many to carry muti-hundered cruise missles. Balistic missiles on a grand scale are no longer politically correct :-) Now that we have simi offically ended the "cold war" we only need to keep around a few to vaporize any of the proliferating baby nuke nations should thay be dumb enough to actally fire one of theirs in anger.

Thanks, I tried making some w/2lb/sqft lead sheet and I had trouble getting the foam to stick to the lead sheet so I was hoping to find something that looked better at a decent price. Tom Fisher Dallas,TX Whispermat is a competing product made by American Acoustic Products. A little less expensive than Soundown but I am not sure that their numbers are quite as good as Soundown. OTOH, 90% of the effectiveness is in the quality of the installation. They are in Mass too but distribute through several outlets around the country including one in Cypress, TX. Might save you some on shipping. > Where's the best deal on lead foam?
