I'm making a poker table and I'm trying to copy a table a saw quite a while ago because I loved the feel of it but I cannot for the life of me figure out what the foam padding under the table felt is called.

It's basically "packaging peanut" material but in a long sheet form, obviously. About 1/2" thick. It's also the same stuff you'll find in some packaging of product in a box. It's the squishy insulation that feels like a packaging peanut. I know that my flat panel TV came with it in the box in a form fit around the edges of the TV. It's that material.

Does anyone know what one would call this? I tried foam insulation, polyethylene padding, packaging peanut material padding, and a bunch of everything else in between.

Thanks!

 

Styrofoam??

 

i found quite a few things with "packaging foam".

 

you mean the thin foam wrap?

or the multi layered foam-core?

It's not Styrofoam that I'm looking for.

Yes, I think this is what I may be looking for but it's hard to tell from any pictures, and I could only find it in bulk (around $200 per roll). I really want to be able to order it in 48 inches or thereabouts width and however long it come (for my purpose I'll need it at least 8 ft long).

The first link is what I'm looking for I think, but I'm trying to find it in 1/2" and it HAS to be at least 48 inches wide. The thickness isn't as much of an issue as the width.

That look like a good site to start ordering some samples. Thanks
I can't figure out exactly which one I'm lookinf for by the pictures but I'll order a couple and see what they turn out to be

Well it was worth a shot

 

try going to a material store. or even to a pool table/card table/hot tub(that sells card tables) store. they could direct you to a supply where they have customer tables repaired.
