Where to find Boffer Materials

OK, so I am new, (one event) and i had borrowed a boffer sword. I am looking to make my own. I have the closed cell foam for around the PVC but where can i find Open Cell foam for the tip, I was at home depot and they looked at me like i had 2 heads asking for open cell. Can I get it at like an AC Moore and is there any brand you recommend for the foam. Thanks for the help folks.

Frost King makes a 2" square strip, 3' long, for AC units that works PERFECT for this stuff.  They sell it at Home Depot.

i get mine from old couch cushions and pillows

yoga mat from walmart works well

They pretty much sell the stuff that Geoff suggested at any sort of hardware store.

Craft stores like A.C. Moore have a green foam that works really well for thrust tips and axe heads.

In a related matter, how do I make throwing knives?
I know they are to be "core-less," but am I supposed to use squishy foam, hard foam, closed cell foam... what sort of foam are we looking at?

all the throwing weapons i've seen were closed cell.

Alex, please do not answer rules-based questions unless you are a Rules Marshal.

All throwing weapons need to be Open Cell foam, or there are also coreless latex weapons sold as well.

on another some what related issue arrow tips are open cell but what else under the tape thinking of making a an archer or ranger like character
