More information about EVA foam
The power of EVA foam is that you can build almost anything with it, without making your wallet suffer. On top of that, it's also very lightweight and flexible, yet durable and strong. However, it's crucial to select the appropriate foam for your specific build. The main 2 aspects to take into account when choosing are density and thickness.
DENSITY
Density is usually indicated by a certain value (for example: 100KG). Simply put: the higher the density, the less air is present in the foam. This means that the foam with a higher density is heavier, but also a lot sturdier.
