Question, when you put the weighted board on the top is the foam still expanding?

Yes, it is still expanding, or it would be without the board on it.

--- End quote ---
Real snug, if you want finger spaces you need to put something with the tool, maybe wrap the tool in cloth or something to increase its bulk a bit without loosing the basic shape.

Put two round plugs on either side of the tool's grips before you do the molding, that will provide two finger grips for you when it's done.

Hi John, :nrocks:
I want to thank you for showing me how to protect my copy of Bog's tramming tool! My first attempt was with DAP Door and Window sealant and it was a disaster. Luckily I had wrapped the tool an shrink film as the foam ran through the cloth like it was water. The results shown here was using "Great Stuff" made by Dow Chemical. Of the different varieties I choose the least expensive and here is the result.
The fitted foam.
The enclosure.
All I need now is a bit of paint.
Thanks again for teaching this "Old Dog" a new trick.

Great idea, must try it.
I'm moving soon and this will be a great way to stop tools rattling around in the tool boxes.
