I ran some test on the 2" dia white foam pole I bought at the craft store.
They had urethane foam products and they had white open cell foam products
all formed in different shapes.  I believe the white foam is Styrofoam.
These products are used as bases for floral arrangements.  Last night I
poured some lacquer thinner on the white foam and it started to melt like
Styrofoam.  I took another piece and heated it with a hair drier to try to
bend it slightly.  This did not work.  The material is ridged.  I think I
could do it but with more heat.  I'm going to buy the curved stuff for the
turns in my manifold so they will be more consistent.  Here's the info off
the label:
