Hey guys I'm going to buy a huge order of foam off of best materials but before I buy it, what is the fit of the foam?

SCH 80 spring fit, you need to stretch it for CPVC.

Ok thanks, that's my usual barrel material I use.

Shandsgator8 has a roll, and while he may be stretching it to get this fit, it seems to have a 'springer fit' in CPVC. That's not typical for beige though. Most hof the beige I've encountered is big enough to be snug in OMC PETG. So understand that it's not all that consistent and be prepared to have to re-barrel some guns if it doesn't meet your expectations.

I can heat all the beige foam I have gotten for taerkitty and Dirty Dan and it will be a springer in cpvc. If you heat in shorter segments like 3 minutes and then let it cool it won't expand as much. If you heat it for the whole 12 minutes at a time it seems to expand a little more.

I purchased 2500ft of this stuff. Both of my spools were/are cpvc springer push fit.

The beige I got, before and after heating, was definitely too large for CPVC. It is push fit in Mcmaster PETG and Sch80 PVC. Then I got some darts from Thedom21 and those are all push or twist CPVC fit. It varies from spool to spool.
