Tear-out designer foam

Does anybody know a source for the foam padding that is covered with
a grid of cuts halfway through the foam? The cuts are 1/2" apart, and
intended to allow the use to tear out small columns of foam, half the
depth of the pad, leaving a cavity shaped to hold an object snugly.
It's ideal for eyepieces and related astronomy equipment.

Lowe's sells an attache case ($25) that comes with this foam
installed, but I want to use it in a custom job. Maybe more than one
job, if it works well. I could use about 4 square feet, 3" thick.

Thanks for any help.

Bob,
I believe Pelican cases come with the sort of foam you want. They sell replacement inserts for their cases. Try Pelican, or CasesforLess.com.
Good luck,

Do a Google Search for "pluck foam" and you will find more places to find this stuff than you will ever need. Pelican makes replacement sets for all their cases and www.casesbypelican.com/foam.htm has the polyethelene foam also which is closed cell and much firmer than polyurethene.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the replies.

Turns out nobody sells this stuff reasonably. Orion no longercarries it, Pelican offers a small quantity for $60 (you can
buy case and all for $25 at Lowes), and the enormous list generated
by Google consists 90% of deadend duplications.

I have been lucky. A friend who works for a company that had
a lot of leftover pluck foam saved the scraps and gave them to me.It's enough to do my job. But I pity the next guy who needs it.
