Polyethylene Foam for gun case, what weight?

[Randman]

For anyone that has added foam to a case, what weight works the best? 1.7lb, or 2.2lb?

I am wanting to custom fit some starlight cases with foam...just not sure which on works best...

Are you cutting out places for them or just setting them in there, if it is heavy equipment your gonna want a heavy dense foam.

 

[Randman]

Yes, I am gonna cut the shapes of guns, and accessories, etc,... I was thinking the denser the better, but didn't wanna go overboard..

Well I guess this would do the trick Starlight Case Accessories Extra Foam Set with 4 Pieces for Box 6x10x16 SC-061016C. SC-061016C. Starlight Cases Dry Box Accessories. , and it's pre cut to fit..just have to pluck...Though I'm not a big fan of plucking, I suppose I could do one or two cases like that...

 

[gladi8r]

Pluck ones for somereason always deteriorate faster and leave crap all over everything, just make sure you got lense covers man.

I used a thin wire and blowtorch to cut my pelican case it came out good.

I'll be using these to transport my handguns.. No optics... Pice wise, I'll come out ahead by ordering these precut with the pick n pluck, as opposed to buying the sheet of foam and cutting it...I'm gonna do one case with the pick and pluck and see how it goes... I still my experiment with the full sheet down the road...
