Cut-to-shape foam - where to find?

[Abby]

I have an old Pelican case I'd love to be able to use to tote a couple of pistols in, but somewhere along the way I lost some of the foam in it.

I'm SURE there's a source for a chunk of this stuff that I can just cut to fit, but I don't have any idea where to start looking.

Figured you guys might know. Any help would be appreciated!

Or a local auto or furniture upholsterer.

Good Luck...

For the soft foam, Jo-Ann fabric shops sells that. Probably some of the other big fabric shops as well.
For the rigid white stuff, you can get that at Lowes and probably Home Depot.

Or a hobby store like Hobby Lobby or Michael's.

I believe Pelican will sell you foam also. I don't know if its going to cost an arm and a leg, but I was told before I bought my Pelican case that if I screwed up my die-cut I could just order a new piece.

Some of that foam places sell is way to soft I would think. I would at least want to feel it before buying if it wasn't the OEM stuff.

I like using the closed-cell polyethylene foam because it doesn't pill/flake off as easy as the more common type. I use it more for electronics than guns.
