    Black pool noodles, where to get?

    Looking and looking. No luck. I did find one place (workoutz.com) that has them but it's like $21 each just for shipping plus $10 for the noodle. That's outrageous especially when I just got 4 green ones for $16 shipped. I'd be ok with a dark or graphite grey too. Would much prefer solid......any ideas?

    No such thing for pool recreation. How about foam pipe insulation from Home Depot, etc? Maybe black foam dock rubrail from West Marine (would probably be half round, though)

      Get plumbing pipe insulation at a local home improvement store.

            I have the pipe insulation but it's kinda cheesy and it's not solid. I've got a 9.2lb 32" slim cat that I have to be creative and maximize my floatation added to it.

                spray paint?? ive seen some heavier duty insulation that looks just like pool noodle, not the typical flimsy stuff. it came with a hot water heater i bought.

                      Colours are limited buddy, I had a hard time finding that lime green this year for the R-42 but... How much black do you need? I may have a bit more from that 2" sheet foam OR I have been using a camping bed foam from The Foam Shop. It is 1" thick and comes in black and is the same exact foam as noodle.

                        Don't do it. I sprayed some with white in my twin mono, it is a flaky affair

                          How about wrapping the colored noodles with black Rescue Tape?

                          Rescue Tape is a self-fusing silicone repair tape for emergency repairs. Waterproof and resistant to fuels, oils, acids, solvents and salt water.

                            You could make a hot wire foam cutter and get very inventive.
