D. Backes Posted: Apr 10, 2008 01:22 PM	Higher Oil Prices=Higher Foam Prices? We've already had an increase this year, any info/guesses when the next one is coming and how much? I remember a few years ago when prices jumped almost 30% in one year (2002 I think) Put a lot of people on the ropes for a while, wasn't good for business.

Huntsman says they will raise theirs 25% immediately. I'm sick to my stomach. Everyone else will soon follow suit. It' going to be a long bumpy ride and many won't make it I'm afraid. We're gonna need to work smarter and develop those relationships like we never have before.
