Foam Customization Instructions
1. Start by placing the equipment on top of the pre-cut foam to determine
the proper arrangement.
2. Mark the edges of the foam sections to be removed.
3. Remove each plug in one piece. Be careful not to tear adjacent foam
sections.
4. Repeat this procedure for each of the 3 foam layers within the case.
Tip If foam sections are damaged or removed unintentionally, they can be reattached with
clear rubber cement or spray adhesive. Spray adhesive also can be used to secure
customizable foam sections to each other inside the case if desired.
5. Place the equipment in the case to check placement and fit. Items
should fit snugly in the foam, and should be removable without
damaging the surrounding foam.
Tip Leftover foam may be cut to a proper height to elevate smaller equipment for
accessibility.
