Q:
Can you colour on these sheet with markers or coloured pencils?
A:
Hi there,
You can draw on these with soft tip pens like felt tip or high lighters. Unfortunately pencils are not hugely effective and you can draw with hard nibs but they tend to damage the material.
Best Regards

Q:
As this is closed cell is it waterproof?
Asked by: Janet briggs
A:
Hi Janet, after having a little test it does appear to be waterproof. When water is placed onto the foam it beads up and runs off, while the underside remains dry. However during prolonged exposure, or if water was applied under a large amount of pressure we are unsure if the results would remain the same.

Hi John, Unfortunately we are unable to source this material in the size you have requested. It is also unlikely that this size of material will be readily available.
