Don't know if this will help in any way. I happen to have a Pisco-Dacta
catalog in front of me (gonna put in an order) and under Tools and Supplies,
they have some sponge balls. The ones I see here are 3" lightweight foam
balls. Color Vary. N714016 $1.15 That's all it really says. Not how many
or anything like that. Might be worth calling them. Their number is 1-800-
362-4308
Have fun.
