Hey yeah I did not notice that. Now I have a source for mongo stefans!

I thinks I've bought this stuff before.
I have black fbr and I believe it came from Amazon.

Pros:
-Straightens nicely
-Slightly thinner than Frost King.
-Cheap
-Melts quickly (If I remember correctly)
-Seems smoother than Frost King

Cons:
-Soft
-Not durable
-Some stefans deform after a few shots.

I've had bad experiences with black foam.

Most of the time it is very soft, and if you even squeeze it between your fingers it will permanantely warp. Also, the black foam me and my friends use sucks in summer humidity, literally. You can squeeze it to the size of the pin and it won't come back.

Anyways, go ahead and try it, it's a pretty good very good deal if you can't find any locally.

You guys sure it was closed cell backer rod? Squeezing it to the size of a pin doesn't seem possible... the black stuff I was looking at said it compresses up to 50%.

Here's the link in case you wanted another source for black fbr...

Yeah, well mine wasn't exactly that squishy. My friend's on the other hand was, and maybe not as tight as a pin, but smaller than the diameter of a pencil. Very small. And it stayed thay way.

Weird, I had the strangest dream before reading this thread. I dreamt that someone had a huge roll of black FBR that had hole through the whole role just like stock darts. So then they gave me like a foot of it and I put it in my pocket, then later it was all squished and crumbling.

Anyway, that FBR is a good deal, but from what everyone is saying only order it if you can't find it locally. Personally I have never seen black FBR, I use light gray for micros and darker gray for megas.
