Neoprene Rubber Thickness?
Hello,
The floor I'm putting in my studio will be floated on 2x4's on their sides (to conserve room height.) I live within 30 minutes of a rubber factory that I am going to contact about possibly supplying me with the neoprene pads. What I need to know is, what to ask for? Thickness, etc, or anything else that is relevant.
If I have missed this info on this group then I apologize.
Thanks very much in advance ,
Higgs

That's about the only spec I've even seen available - here's a thread where more of the details are discussed -

How about this:
I was out at my local music store and they have an Auralex display up. They had a sample of the U-boats for floating floor joists. I noticed that the U shape is the same size/thickness all the way around. Could I purchase say a third of the U-boats that I need, cut them into 3 pieces and mount them onto the joists? Or am I rocking the boat here?

Hello,
Well, the local rubber factory is not returning my messages, so I guess I have no source for it at the moment either. I went through the building materials section, but didn't find any info for FB Wright. I did a search for them on yahoo and their website was no longer active. Did I overlook it?
Any more suggestions?
Thanks,
Higgs

Here again is a great link that helped me find a 24"x 48"x 1/2" 60 durometer Neoprene sheet for $50.00. Enough to float two 12x12 rooms once I cut it up into 2x3" strips.

I was able to find two different companies here in the Minneapolis/St.Paul area within the first two or three pages of listings...had to drive @20 miles, but it was worth it!

Found a bit of clarification on hardness, and what it means -

Don't do Auralex!!!!
FB Wright has the correct 1/2" thick 60 duro neoprene availible
http://www.fbw-cincy.com/
Sheets are 36"x12" I am having mine cut into 36"x2" and then I will cut those myself into 2"x2" pucks. Each 36"x2" strip is under $4 and you get 18 pucks out of those strips which makes each unit about 22 cents each as aposed to Auralex for $1.75 in bulk each!
