By 1"closed cell do you mean like the "Insulite" pads that go under your
sleeping bag when backpacking?  (I already have one that I cut 8" off
of...when you're my height, who cares?

How did he taper it down to 1/4"?  How does this compare with the old
Ortho-Flex method of stacking 1/4" shims of shorter & shorter lengths?
