Storage Question:

[Machizmo D]

I looked around (new'ish member) & couldn't locate a forum
that would better suit my question, so shooting here, sorry for any inconvenience.

I have been crafting my own personal storage containers & cannot seem to
find a decent type of foam for holding my e-cigs. They are wooden storage
containers & am fully capable of craving the foam down to size, carving out
the e-cig slots & all. Just need the simple "point in the direction" of a good type
of dense foam. (not incredibly pliable.)

Thank you in advance.

Check hobby stores, Joanns, Michaels, etc. Or even something like this: Morning Glory 22" x 22" x 4" High Density Craft and Cushion Foam - Walmart.com

I have attempted using foam such as the link you shared.
It's just way too overly pliable. Needs a stronger consistency.

I have no idea how pliable this is but you could check it out: Pelican Case Foam | Order Foam for Pelican Cases

Maybe they could send you samples.

The only thing I could think of was the high expansion foam you spray from a a can found in hardware stores and lumberyards. It's messy to work with but is easily cut and very firm when it sets up.

How about styrofoam?

Styrofoam just looks bad & seems to have too many air-pockets throughout it.
Yes, it's easy to cut with an exact-o knife, but even applying a material like felt
to the outside is a pain, due to the air-pockets.
Also, kind of a pain when using a routing tool to carve the slots for e-cigs,
batteries, etc to be held in.
