I am looking for a material to absorb stray light, so that it doesn't
bounce on the walls. Have heard about something calles 'Palpas' that is
used in some Hasselblad camera houses. It is some kind of very black
foam-like material. Does anyone have experience of using palpas? Where
can I buy it?

I have tried velvet-like light absorbing 'black-out material' from
Edmund Optics, but have had trouble with the small hairs falling off.
