Default Foam for instrument cases -redux-

Thanks for the help! I was amazed to get a bunch of e-mails wanting to know
what I found out. Here is a link for the foam I got.

I had no idea it was that expensive. The scrap yard I frequent gets
surplus equipment that
is sometimes packed in foam. The foam is of different types but I see
all kinds, and of course
I have a reasonable supply in my shop. Maybe I should take a picture and
tell my insurance
agent about the value :-)

It does seem expensive...but think, I will have 3 cubic feet of my life
organized! I should buy acres of this stuff!
