My old Arkansas traveler originally had aluminum air tanks for flotation, I want to install Styrofoam blocks instead of the air tanks. Any idea where to buy styrofoam? Thanks Ken

Lumber supply store's can order dock foam also. Not sure which one up here carries it, but I used to order it at an Ace Lumber that was down in Houston. I'm sure if they could get it, then any Ace Lumber up here should be able to. Comes in large blue block's of it, bring your Pickup truck when you pick it up. Hope this helps.

There was a place in Waxahachie that made styrofoam blocks and could cut to size but I dont know if they are still there. They were down by the viaduct somewhere i think.

Thanks for the info guys. I remembered a place here in Midlothian that I thought made styrofoam. Turns out they do and they make the dock foam for flotation. I gave them my measurements as they said they would cut to size. Awhile later they called me back with a quote of a little over $9.00 including tax, for the 3 large pieces that I need. Cant beat that with a stick.
