    Anyone know where I can get foam inserts?

    I have a pelican (1600) case and want to replace the foam that's in it. I want to get it from a local place instead of online. I have gone to HD, Lowes and OSH and they don't carry it. Please help. I'm in the fresno area.

      you can order the foam directly from pelican... kinda pricey but I dont think you can get the same quality and size elsewhere.

        Yeah I'll try them out, but I think they will only have foam board.

          I did look at pelican first, but the price did scare me.

              I have got foam from auto upholstery shops.It is soft for what you are wanting.I suggest McMaster Carr.com.They are a industrial supply.We use alot of stuff from their massive selection,catalog in the sewer plant.I have got the high density foam from them for instrument cases.Call and ask if not on the website.Their selection id vast to say the least.

                McMaster is a great source for those items not carried at your local hardware store. They are local for you SoCal guys.

                I would also suggest trying a local crating/packaging company.

                  I save all my foam from boxes some of my long guns came in, etc. It helps.

                      I was once told that Grainger carries replacement foam.

                      Or I'd look around for a shop that sells Pelican cases.

                      I've seen Pelican cases at Fry's too.....not sure if they sold just the foam though.

                        Order hard cases w/ custom foam inserts for sales kits or product lines. Includes free sample case, free shipping & adhesive labels with your company logo.

                          Not sure where in the central valley you are, or wich central valley for that matter. But doms in livermore has varying thicknesses, and firmnesses of foam. I have done about 4 cases with their foam. Also check with keystone brothers. They are all over.
