  • Flight case foam

    I need to find a supplier of foam to line the flight case for my 450L.

    That is, a supplier which won't bankrupt me! I had no idea foam was so expensive

    Any cheap sources out there, or ideas for alternatives?

    Have a look in Dunelm they do a variety of form and also Velcro at very reasonable prices.

      Hey

      A few years ago i was looking to at making a small case to take a few bits and bobs with me on jobs. I chose a peli case, and then looked at some way of holding my items securely and safely inside the case. What ever i did, the inside needed to be strong and not fall to bits lifting tools in and out. I did alot of research and ordered loads of samples, but came up buying the proper foam was really the only way to go.

      If the foam is too soft, its a pain to cut and make it look neat. plus it pulls and soon falls to bits lifting things in and out. Also it will deposit loads of bits of foam on ya internals.

      too hard foam and you obviously wont get the protection for bangs and knocks. Best to order some samples and pick which one u feel best with. If you get a nice one inbetween, its alot easier to cut, and if you compress it you can sand and even file it to get your edges dead nice. I used an electric band saw to cut it


      I ordered it from here
