@tolstoy21 where do you get your styrofoam?  I found some on Amazon but it seems pricey. 

I used to get it from Uline. But the shipping there can be expensive, but it’s still an ok rate compared to Amazon. I’ve since been able to source it from a local shipping supply company.

Oh also. Home Depot has 3/4” plain styrofoam sheets at a good price.

I think the insulation I use is 1/2" thick.  I get it at Lowe's.  It comes in 4' x 8' sheets.

Yeah that’s definitely a good option as well. It all depends on how much you need and if buying bulk makes sense and saves you $$$ in the long term.  This is why I think the 3/4” styro sheets at HD are a good option. You get a handful in the package, they are available at a moments notice, and you don’t have to pay shipping.

This is what I’ll sometimes get if I need some and don’t have any on hand. The picture is deceptive, and doesn’t represent what you get, unless I’m linking the wrong item.
