If anyone here has used both log house and lowes foam compare could you please tell me. I want to buy some but do not want to waste my money.

20 feet of 1/2" foam is what, $4?

[Icespartan 1114]

I agree with slug on this one. Its only a view bucks. Also Log home foam is notorious for being very thick foam, I can almost guarantee you it is thicker then Lowes foam

Depends on what barrel material you use.

If you use CPVC, LogHome foam is NOT for you.

You're doing it backwards.

Find a consistent quality supply of foam, then pick a barrel material to match the foam.

I have quite a bit a brass. Would log house fit a little tight in 17/32 or 9/16?

Log House Foam is not consistent. I got a batch once that was great and another batch that was horribly thick. Because of that, I wouldn't recommend it. As Slug said, find a reliable source of foam.

Lowes foam fits excellent in 17/32, a tad loose in 9/16, and pretty tight in 1/2.

Even if isn't consistent I think I will get some because who can pass up their cheap prices.

Redhead you have no idea what the hell I am asking do you?

We've got some black and white Log House Foam here. It's loose in 19/32 and tight in 17/32, so I'm guessing 9/16 will be a good fit.

No one is going to want to re-barrel all of their guns. If you already have 20+ guns modded with a certain barrel-material (like me), you're going to want to find foam that fits it.

Especially if you were using CDT's for a while and decided to switch to stefans. Most of your guns would be barreled to fit CDT's, and it would be ideal to find the right size foam.

If you re looking for foam that fits 17/32 brass, my foam is great for it. My Foam

How tight is it 17/32? Do you have to twist it in?

[veginator]

Oops computer screwed up.

Twisting, jamming, pushing, etc. It is closer to "does not fit" than to "snug" on the tightness spectrum. A 1-2" section of 17/32 might be good on a telescoping barrel for some gun with poor air delivery, but I wouldn't use it as primary barrel material.
