Yeah para rubber is damn expensive... I did our boat upholstery a while back
checked out trademe, clearance stores emporiums.....
ended
back at para in mt wellington....to cut costs, I purchased off cuts and
glued together... and also use some of the old usable foam and glued
slabs over those.
Was in at Davids emporium cavandish drv manukau
nest to super cheap. couple days ago, they have some good sized thinner
softer foam and a few suitable off cuts.. not many suitable off cuts
thu.
Material also expensive , ended up with end of the roll of
some heavy duty black out backing type curtain material from spotlight
in manukau... and thu had doubts as to how well would stand up in the
boat, rather pleasantly surprised.
OH yeah, thin foam under
covered panels , end of roll foam carpet under lay from one of the
places in that car park area opposite the red shed in manuaku
Total
cost including cans of ados ultra sticky whatever glue , and 9/16 box
staples , but not the new sheets of ply for wall panels under $150
