          Re:  Registration on Form S-8 of Furon Company (the
               "Company")

Gentlemen:

          At your request, I have examined the Registration
Statement on Form S-8 to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in connection with the registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 25,000 shares (the
"Shares") of Common Stock, without par value, of the Company (the
"Common Stock"), to be issued pursuant to the Company's 1933 Non-
Employee Directors' Stock Compensation Plan (the "Plan").  I have
examined the proceedings heretofore taken and to be taken in
connection with the authorization of the Plan and the Common
Stock to be issued pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan.

          Based upon such examination and upon such matters of
fact and law as I have deemed relevant, I am of the opinion that
the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of the Company and, when issued in accordance
with such authorization, the provisions of the Plan and relevant
agreements duly authorized by and in accordance with the terms of
the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock.

          I consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement.

                              Respectfully submitted.
