Gun case foam?

[cjt0311]

So I know the ole elec turkey cutter can’t be the way to go still, need to cut foam for my competition rig and accessories. Tips? Or someone local to Baton Rouge that does these with like a laser scan or something ?

Hot Knife. Harbor Freight has one for $15.00. there are more professional rigs available, but $15 sounds like something worth trying. Maybe even a soldering iron, if the cuts aren't too deep.

Have you looked into kaizen foam. Home Depot has different thicknesses at a reasonable price. I large box cutter will cut it easily. And the layers will help create different depths if needed.
