Filling Foamex….
I’ve just had a piece of 10mm Foamex delivered with the *Couriers trade mark, a whack on the top edge! I’ve no time to get some more and may be able to fill it. It doesn’t need to match the colour……
Any reccomendations for something cheap and off the shelf in B@Q etc., that would do the job now that Plastic Padding is no longer available….. 🙁
Having received 3 deliveries from Initial City Link recently I feel that a special award for poor service should be bestowed upon them!
Delivery One: Scratched frame, broken Foamex. Laid on van likea piece of limp spaghetti with all the other stuff on top.
Delivery 2: We’ve left a card…you weren’t in. You didn’t..I was. You weren’t. I was. Bring the card in to the Depot. What card. The one he left. We can’t release the goods without a card. There is no card. Ah well perhaps he’s yet to deliver it. You just told me he’d tried. That’s what the driver told us..and he left a card…..etc., etc., Well he’s put it through someone else’s door. Go to Depot, wait an hour for drivers return and get back home to find…….the Card…while you were out etc.,!!!
Delivery 3: Must be here by 9am…still waiting at 9.45am……and it’s broken… 🙁 🙁

Who is the supplier?
Amari etc deliver their own goods. Not couriers. Might be worth it???

P.S. Normal car body filler will do it.

Martin What about car body filler, same as plastic padding sort of, not sure if it will work, but if its being covered in vinyl who knows.
I would take photos and complain saying the job had to go out, but if your customer see the damage you want a new piece free of charge.
Europoint also do foam and it comes wrapped in cardboard

Thanks all.
I’ll try the bodyfiller.
This was just a one-off purchase of 10mm with a job lot of cut letters. I normally pick up sheets of Foamex myself from Multiplastics so hopefully won’t happen too often!

Careful Martin…I hope this got to you in time…I used body filler on a job and it melted the bleeding lot. I now use the sellys Polyfiller – large crack pre mixed filler to fill jobs like this it sets well, can sand and is outdoor rated. Give this a try.

Thanks Leeroy, I found some Plastic Padding under it’s new name and it seems fine apart from the fact it is grey.
I take it the problems would arise as soon as applied?
-
Yeah the one I use is gray too. I didn’t know if you were going to put vinyl over the foamex to cover the damaged area. That’s what I did and looked great.

Sorry I missed the second part of your post. ( Just finished work at four and onto my third beer 5pm) Yeah I got bitten by body filler badly. It totally destroyed a sign I was doing which had to be re made and re sealed. I thought the sealer might have protected the substrate, but nup! ate right through it.
Hope you had good luck mate…
