    Foam under hatches in New bass boats where to buy it?

    Every new bass boat I see has soft black foam mounted underneath the hatches for insulating purposes. I'm trying to locate this foam so I can apply it to my boat but I can't seem to find it? idea where?
    thanks

    Not to hijack this thread but has anyone used this material under the carpet for cushion? I see that it comes in 1/4" that might make standing for hours a little more comfortable.

    He doesnt mention anything about what he uses to keep it on the lids? and it seems that he just lays it in the compartments with no nothing to hold it down looks alright though I use to buy that thin rubber stuff that you use in kitchen cabinets but this seems better.

    Sorry, he said in the comments that he uses Commercial Grade Loctite. Honestly, that doesn't mean anything...there are a million different Loctite products.

    Thanks for everyone's comments! I would assume you would use contact cement or spray adhesive to hold it in place.

    You can buy it with an adhesive backing but make sure you look at the temp ratings.

    Thanks Mini. Are you saying that all suppliers have it adhesive backed? I'm looking at foambymail.com at the moment as they were the first hit on Google.

    Not all suppliers do but most of them have something adhesive backed. The temps can get pretty high in a compartment....
