[Ansteorra-archery] Foam for side wraps

[Eadric Anstapa]

Oznog,

The crafts industry and the manufacturers of these foams are calling 
them EVA foams.  They are not calling them PE foams and not EVA/PE 
copolymers.  They literature does not say that they are crosslinked (but 
they certainly might be).

Both the Darice brand and the Creative-Hands/Fibre-Craft/CraftsEtc 
brand  outlined in my post are advertising their products as  EVA foam

So since the industry, manufacturers, catalogs,  and stores are calling 
it EVA foam I hope it doesn't bother you too much if I do the same.
