[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 427138, member: 19781"] I work with EPS foam quite a bit. It's made of small pellets that are all bonded together in a mold. While each pellet is relatively sealed, there's still many voids between pellets that soak up water and allow mold to flourish. I'd suggest replacing that with the blue type of insulation foam at Lowes. That foam is extruded as a sheet, so there are no little pellets and voids between them like there is in cheap white EPS. and it has a sealed surface that will make it last forever. Just cut it up and make a stack of material the same size. You can glue them together or just band them up with clear box tape... that stuff lasts forever too.... [/QUOTE]
