Fluval is the answer!

[cliff5550]

Based on what we read in here, we just bought the Fluval water polishing pads at Petco and they work great! For under $6 you get a box with six large pads which are "extra thick micro-fine polyester pads" and they look like they will keep us supplied for a very, very long time. Just tweezered out the old filler, cut a very small piece of Fluval, rolled it between my fingers, placed a few drops in the empty card, slid in the new filler, cut off any extra at the top, pressed it down a bit into the cart, added a few more drops (about 8-10 in all), and kicked off. Fantastic! Lotsa smoke. Easy draw.

i tried fluval and the PTB but now since trying the blue foam, it puts both fluval and the PTB to shame!

With 6+ months reading this forum daily, what I have learned is that there is no "the answer." Through participant input and suggestions and sharing ideas, we just keep getting better and better at this.

Do try the PTB (read long thread about it to get the best draw known at this time). I don't even know what the "blue form" is, but I bet I'll find out. lol.

I don't know what blue foam is either. The filler I've found is Tulle from the craft store, $1.49 a yard and the stuff works great. Unfortunately, I went a fairly busy day and had to stand in line with the ladies and my pretty white fabric.

Just make sure that any filler you might try doen't not have a fire retartent in it.
