Tricks of the trade – working with solid foam
Cutting foam is very easy. Long razor knife or bread knife, 8 inch or longer, does well
Place item/items on first layer of foam to be cut. Trace item outline with sharpie marker/chalk Hint: templates for cutting can also be made from cardboard.
Toothpicks and pins are useful removable markers for reference points
Remove item, Trace second outline ¼ inch inside original outline, this will insure a proper amount of compression to secure your items in place.
Leave 1 inch on all side & between items, for proper cushion protection.
Remember items should fit snug. Goal is to hold items securely with an amount of compression, not loose. A great shortfall, of pick n pluck.
Cut foam on your inner outline. Your wife or mom’s bread knife is great. Do not get caught.
Use nice long smooth cut strokes for a clean edge. Sawing causes jagged edges.
Cut from middle of outline into corners. Do corners last. You will achieve a much better defined corner, with fewer overcuts.
Retain the cutout piece. You may well need it again, at later date.
Repeat if there is a 2
nd
or 3
rd
layer. Cardboard templates really come in handy here.
Advanced Foam Techniques
Layers can be glued together for superior protection and durability (use 3m Hi Strength 90 spray adhesive, hot glue gun, Quick Grip Adhesive, or clear rubber based cement)
Modifying/repair:
can be achieved by addition or subtraction of foam. Remember you kept your foam cutouts, right? That is you material to draw upon.
Types of case Foam Available …technical discussion
Pluck Foam: (Open cell)
Easy do it yourself system comprised of pres-cored, diced foam. It is also the softest, loosest fitting. Has the shortest life expectancy (several years depending on use) also ultimately gets brittle and crumbles. Also absorbs and depending can be a growth medium & harbour. Unacceptable for Medical EMS. Good for amateur or beginner perhaps.
Solid Foam: (open cell) offers much more support, is also available in stiffer heavier weights, vast advantages over pick n pluck. I f those are advantages you need. Most need these, realizing this later in the game.
Closed Cell Solid: Strongest, Easy to work with, Most sanitary and can actually be washed in the dishwasher. Best suited for EMS Medical and electronics (no static current) Longest life expectancy
Case Appearance restoration
Most scuffs and stains can be removed quickly with household cleaner and a soft sponge. Do not use any type of brush that will scratch the surface.
Hint: magic marker and glue residue usually can be removed using acetone. Caution wipe on with paper towel. Remove & rinse immediately. Seriously!!! Try small area first. This is drastic last resort.
