Hi All,It's been quite a while since I've done anything with my rockets. A littleover two years in fact due in part to moving and not having time to unpackmy stuff. I recently took my neighbor's son to the Battlepark launch inCulpeper, VA and his interest has resparked my own. I've unpacked all of myrockets and supplies and I'm going to take him to launch some of his rocketsand some of mine this weekend.Now, I'm looking for the wadding material that people have reported usingthat comes in a bag from Home Depot. I remember that it is some cellulosesubstance that is biodegradable but I don't know what the product is exactlyor what section I should look in for it. Is Lowe's a better source? Whatis the original intent for using this product? Any help would beappreciated.Also, I need to get a replacement launch rod for my Mantis launch pad. Theone I had must not have made it in the move or has been put somewhere bysomeone who doesn't know what it is. Anyway, what are the dimensions of theoriginal rod that came with the launch pad and any suggestions onreplacements?Thanks in advance,Joel remove"NOSPAM" to reply

Home Depot only carries it in some areas of the USA. It is Cocoon Brand Cellulose("blown") insulation. We could not get it in the Los Angeles area until Lowesopened upstores, and even now they only carry it at some select stores (probably cateringto thecontractor crowd).
