View source for Closed-cell foam

'''Closed-cell foam''' is a modern material in common use in the [[SCA]], usually in the construction of [[armour]] and [[weapon]]s.  Of the many kinds of closed-cell foam, '''polyethylene''' is most commonly used, especially as padding; the thin blue sleeping pads made for camping are often cut up and used to pad the insides of SCA [[helmet]]s, for example.

[[Thrusting tip]]s are usually made of this material, and [[axe|axeheads]] or the ends of [[glaive|polearms]] are increasingly being made of stiffer, denser varieties of foam.
