Foam Lining for Equipment BagPosted By Daniel Herkes |
I would like to re-purpose a redundant semi rigid sided travel bag. The bag is 20" x 14" x 8" and has a large zippered opening. My GEM will fit in it perfectly. In order to use the case I must pad it such that the mount will not move or shift. I have three options that meet my criteria for ease of construction and affordability:
--Lining the case with sheets of 2" upholstery foam and building the layers up with the outline of the mount in each layer.
--Carefully wrapping the mount in plastic bubble wrap, then filling the case with binary polyurethane foam. After it sets, carefully cutting the embedded mount away.
--Purchasing the sheets of gray pluck and pull foam. This option could be relatively expensive, but has the advantage of little extra work.
Has anyone any experiences they could share?
