I am going to unashamedly steal this idea and use it on a display box reconstruction I am currently undertaking. I will however give credit to the OP. I am just not smart enough to dream this up. Great, great idea. |

Okay, so now that take two is done, I think it's time for a take 3. I've never worked with expanding foam before and it's definitely showing. I'm still not happy with the way it came out and am going to do it again. I think I finally figured out what my mistakes were and hopefully this next try will get it done. Here are pics from my second try: https://db.tt/SpFUqzXr 20lb shop bags on top https://db.tt/lszC97fB The 80lbs of weight I probably should have put on there to begin with. https://db.tt/Q7l7Oq0g Here's the tools in the drawer. You can see that the sides didn't turn out too well. https://db.tt/XDJbpJck close up on the form of the tools, still not as good as I want it to be. I'll come back and post pictures again once I finally get a product I'm happy with haha! |

Hi, do you think maybe the fabric was stretched too tight before your put the foam on? When I did mine I just laid the t-shirt fabric over the tools and I was fairly careful to push the foam down and squish it around abit before putting the board over the top. You got a good deep fit around that crescent wrench. I made a case liner for some of my astronomy bits and pieces and they didnt fit in too deep either partly because I didnt want to force the foam through the fabric onto those bits. |
