Chazz said:umm, yes. But your confusion has me worried that you are thinking something different than you are aking.
How else would you construct say the head of a club or axe or polearm? Just about every mace you've used at CT is UL core, 5/8' foam shaft with open cell taped on to create the head.

Chazz said:I am not sure I'd pass open cell over camp pad. Of course I'd have to see it first no matter what. My thoughts though are that open cell doesn't last like closed cell especially in the blade area. Open cell also retains a lot more water and I question it after any bad weather. Then again if you used enough it would certianly be soft enough. So I guess I'd say that open cell over closed would fail if it were used to just bring it up to 5/8". Now if you used to bring it up to the 1"+ mark or some other point of ridiculous softness then I'd have to reconsider.

But there is much more to it than just the pics as I'm sure you know.
