I then cut the foam into 1/4" wide strips and apply them to a full sheet of foam leaving 1/4" to 3/8" spaces, depending on the size of hook. I also apply then to 8 1/2" X 11 pieces of heavy acetate (art store) for ripple foam that looks like the 'Cliff Box' or C&F foams.

What a great idea!

If you don't want to "roll your own" as Ken suggests, you might want to check Sportsman's Warehouse. I've seen them there.
For the same 12 bucks I cam make about 10 large sheets...
