Hardcase Modification

[Cybersist]

When I got my Stargate, it came with a case that had two cheap, wood dividers in it to make seperate spaces for parts of the hookah and such. But because my hookah is heavy metal, it is impossible to carry the hookah case by its handle without breaking the dividers, for sure.

So my solution, and I have seen this on the forums before, is to get some low to mid desity foam to fill the case and cut out molds for the hookah components. Unfourtunalty, no Home Depots in my region seem to carry foam in any practical form. Does anyone else know where I can get foam that I can manipulate to fit my needs?

Thanks!

Stores that carry packing supplies. I don't think it would be perfect, but that white foam that comes on big rolls, it's maybe 1/4" thick? I bet you could layer that with some sort of glue to make a block ready for cutting.

Staples I've seen usually has packing supplies, and probably anywhere there's a UPS shipping center.

I saw some of that foam that looks like accoustical foam but you sleep on it. I sa it at Wal Mart or some retail store like that. The pad is cheap and you can cut it to how you would like it. Check out all the sporting-camping goods section in your locality. It may have been Fleet Farm I saw it. They have everything.

Thanks, I will go ahead and check out my local Fedex or UPS tomorrow then!

If the packing supplies don't work out for ya, you could try layering some foam insulation. It'll be a bit more rigid than what you're looking for but it'll still do the same job and will probably be easier to cut and shape.

Hobby stores. You can get the plant foam that they use for vases (the kind that retains water) very easy to cut and comes in usable blocks

if you want the thicker stiff foam, hit some fabric stores - they sell it there, most often by the foot or in perpackaged sizes. you'll need a sharp knife to cut it, but it offers the best protection.

Thanks for the replys. I will be hitting up some craft/fabric stores in the near future
