Close Cell Foam-How to Cut?Posted By Linton Rohr |
Hi Judson.
I like having my larger EP's lie on their side, too.
After tracing the layout lines, I typically cut all the way through the foam with a sharp filet knife. Once you pull out the resulting plug, you can slice it lengthwise, and place it back in the bottom, if you want the cutout to be less deep (I use 2" foam).
I was thinking one might be able to produce a rounded bottom, by sawing with a curved hacksaw blade, or perhaps a semi-submerged hole saw, but I haven't tried this. Could be difficult.
I think I'll just stick with my square cutouts. You can fit a round peg, or EP, in a square hole.
I'm getting ready to reconfigure my case, too.
What kind of foam did you get?
