Minicel has been recommended here as the best foam to make a seat from. On another web site selling Minicel I found this:

"Also known as crosslink polyethylene, Minicell foam is very similar to EVA foam, the only thing that is different is EVA foam is sun proof and minicell foam is not."

Should I be looking for EVA foam instead, assuming it is also closed cell but also UV resistant?
