Shore Hardness

[Danny McGee]

Anyone know what the shore hardness of the standard foams we use is?

Say a schumacher Tubby for example?

We may be getting something here at work that can make them so want to make sure i could bang some out. :)

Cheers

I might be wrong but doesn't shore hardness relate to the hardness of rubber, and not foam/sponge?

Might foam be spec'ed in terms of density / cell size or something?

nope foams are good for shore hardness measurements, and I am guessing they will be on the OO scale??

Here are some foams that we have used for none RC products in the past, you can see the shore hardness values marked....
