I've got a system here that had gray foam rubber
used as a sound deadener.
Well, after 24 years, it's toast--you touch it and it's gone. No surprise,
right?
At least it does not turn to a sticky mess like some foam.
What do you folks use to replace the stuff (assuming
that I don't want to
put someone through this in 20 more years)? Adhesive-backed wool felt?
You can buy sheets of new foam of various grades and thicknesses, then
chop it to fit. Use an electric carving knife for custom fits. The modern
stuff os very likely far more stable over the years.
