I wasn't sure of the proper forum for this, but it is about making stuff.
I want to make a case for my new (to me) Meade 102ED. I have the basic case constructed from wood and am now thinking about foam. I remember discussions about outgassing, etc, years ago but not any conclusions. Can anyone reccommend readily available (e.g. home improvement or craft stores) foam that is safe for optics? I'm considering just cutting some cradles from white styrofoam and gluing them into the box. I also have some of the blue insulation foam from home depot. I wold like to put some softer foam under the lid. Thanks for any tips.
This is to hold me over until I have the $ for a scope guard case.
