Foam in hard cases

Kbeg3 · 2009-06-13 18:07:41

So I bought a Storm iM2500 case today in Conns, it has cubed foam in it which needs to be cut out to fit my equipment. I know some boardsies have hard cases so whats the best way to cut it? and what way should I have my stuff laid out in it? Thanks in advance:)

Trace the outline of what you want with a thick marker, but do this on the bottom of the foram (so make sure the kit is laid out correctly). Then just use a crafts knife or stanley knife to cut out the shape.

It sounds like you have pick and pluck, which is easier to cut then the normal stuff. For all of my gear (non photographic) I always cut the shape to be a bit smaller so the fit is tight.

Got it done this morning. I layed out everything and used a marker to outline it. Then I used a hacksaw blade and cut it out. 2 hours later I was done. Looks good now though
