Transillum, what case is that and how did you get cutouts so clean? My growing collection needs storage desperately!
Zoom in close and you will see that type of foam is perforated. Each little square is about 3/8" x3/8". You simply pluck out the ones you want.Transillum, what case is that and how did you get cutouts so clean? My growing collection needs storage desperately!

I found this type not as stiff as I prefer for larger, heavier lights.
The largest light I have is the Tain 45C (second from bottom on right) and the foam holds it fine.
Use a very thin slicing knife from your kitchen. The thinner & sharper the better. It should be at least 5" long.Don't have it set up yet but my first case. Awesome quality, hefty, seemingly indestructible. I need to figure out how to cut the inserts since this one has solid foam, not the prescored type.

Never tried electric, but I can see that working well. The opposing sawing motion could keep the foam from deflecting while cutting.Not sure if I have the right knife. I see ppl using electric knives in YouTube
I use a heated Knife I bought at harbor freight for around 10 dollars. You just have to be careful because the foam will stick to your fingers when pulling it out and gloves make it difficult. You'll pick it up fast how to do it tho. I put blue tape over the entire foam then drew lines around my lights after I arranged how I wanted them. Then cut the blue tape with a utility Knife then used the heated tool to cut down to required depth then pushed it threw to size...Not sure if I have the right knife.

Thank you like said first attempt and had to get use to pre cut squares. Really keeps lights safe!@Nice work.
Going to do more soon. Thx guys! Here is the tool I used. 19.99 at harbor freight. Heats up super fast.Yep! Pretty impressive. [emoji106]

Yes it needs to get real hot and doesn't take long to heat up. Secret is putting tape on top first then outline your lights and cut with utility blade/razor blade. Not to full depth just a guiding point so hot Knife follows outline. I only cut foam to depth I needed. I even went back and cleaned it up a bit after with the hot knife!! "Be careful foam will stick to you". I learned the hard way.. I guess took one for the teamSo you cut the pluck n pull cubes in half or less like a hot knife through butter?
I might have to get on of those.
Now that's spot on) love it bro!!!:laughing: Corrected my "Red Green" reference?
