Pelicase inserts reconfiguring

[Dijon]

Hoping that someone here can give me some useful advice.
I've got a very nice Pelicase 1500 which has been messed about with internally in the past - looks like a gorilla configured the insert to fit a very nice Titan pistol..... I say fit in the loosest sense of the word!
I still have most of the chunks of foam that were removed in order to fit the pistol.
What I'd like to know is whether there's a way of putting foam back in order to make things a better fit?
At the moment I can only think of that spray on upholstery adhesive that you spray on both parts and wait for it to go tacky before fitting together, but I can see that winding up in a hell of a mess!
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers

Why not see if you can just replace at a decent price? Foam should not be that expensive and would give a nicer result than gluing together butchered chunks.

Thanks for that - excellent idea. Had no idea that company existed.
Any thoughts on best way of accurately cutting foam?

Hi...

Pick'nPluck foam from http://www.efoam.co.uk/pickpluck.html

Only trouble is you've got to buy a lot of it. I use it in my camera cases.

I use a bread knife for mine, anything with a serrated edge.

Cheap plastic knifes from pound shop with the retractable blades that extend enough to cut all the way through the foam

Evil Bay item 221171545196 sell four for a pound in my local pound shop

I bought a sheet of packing foam (the hlb stuff) and found that works really well for making your own inserts. Have heard that kaizen foam cuts well also.

You can get replacement pick and pluck foam from Peli UK.

when I did this in one of mine I used a hot glue gun, worked pretty well. Saved the expense of replacing the pick 'n' pluck as it's not cheap
