62. 2 Wicking Foam Densities The Phoenix LT4 is shipped with six wicking foams made of three different densities Changing wicking foam types can result in significant changes to the amount of oil being applied to the lane while adjusting the adjustment bars on the top of the oil tanks will result in smaller changes A set of replacement wicking foams of different densities was supplied with the Phoenix LT4 Lane Machine Each density of wicking foam is printed with a number for easy identification The higher the number printed on the foam the higher the foam s density and therefore the lower the oil output Having different density foams as well as having the ability to change the location of each foam type allows for the creation of many different oil patterns Table 6 2 shows the correlation between the number printed on the wicking foam and the comparative oil output along with the part number of each type of foam Table 6 2 6 5 3 Preparing Custom Sized Wicking Foams Replacement wicking foams come in lengths of 48 inches When cutting a replacement foam section try to make the cut as clean and as straight as possible Using a straight edge as a guide and a new blade in the cutter will help prevent jagged edges and gaps between foam sections and in the pattern One trick is to slightly overlap two foams keeping their top edges aligned and make a single cut through both of them The resulting cut will match perfectly even if its angl
