All this talk about (expanding) foam...

I've been looking for some PARTICULAR (pre-expanded) foam to line some
"equipment cases". I have several such cases designed for specific
bits of equipment that utilize this foam. So, you'd *think* it should
be available SOMEWHERE???!

The foam is *black*. No, not grey. Also, it's not the sort of foam
you encounter at craft stores (regardless of color). It's more like
styrofoam in its makeup -- less "homogenous" than that craft store
foam.

You are looking for polyethylene foam. check out

or

or for the USA http://www.foambymail.com/
Grainger carries it from "clark foam" part # CFM1001164 or CFM1001166
or 1001094 - and many more depending on thickness/size.

U-Line also carries "pick-and-pack" foam blocks, but they are urethane
foam.

No, this is what I refered to with:
I am aware of equipment cases with "craft store foam" cut in various
shapes to accommodate a variety of "gizmos" to be stuffed in the case.
Again, this is not that same sort of homogenous foam.
If you examine the photos (and, the product itself), you'll see that
these are all far more homogenous, "light weight" than the black stuff in
my photos. (i.e., they are more like the *grey* stuff).

Did you check the "clark" foam?
