where can I find Minicel Foam?

the kayak is almost done and I've started looking for minicel foam to build a seat. Went to the two local "foam" shops in Victoria, B.C. and they didn't know what I was talking about when I asked for minicel foam. When I told them what it was for, they didn't have any foam like it - they carry the foam for cushions and beds. I then went to the local fiberglassing store and they didn't have anything like it either. The only place that had what I think is minicel foam was the local Wal-mart, who sell pads for gardeners to kneel on, but its an ugly green colour and only about 1' x 8".

Anyone out there know where to find minicel foam in British Columbia?

Thanks in advance,
