1/4" is the most common thickness and works ok for ICs. If you have
thicker foam, you may be able to put ICs on both sides. I used to
occasionally end up with small sections of 1/2" from vendors that had
EPROMs on both sides. Sometimes I'd see 1/2" used for TO-3 packaged FETs
and such too.
Mouser carries it in big 3'x3' (or
thereabouts) sheets. It's not cheap.

I was a afraid of that. I am regretting how much of it I have tossed
away over the years. Mouser is by far the cheapest yet. $76 for 60"x36".
I guess that will probably last me the rest of my life. Only 1/4" thick
though. Isn't 1/2" more the norm for IC ?
