Fancy foam fitting feat


Here's a simple technique for fitting a strip of foam to an irregular curve. The foam piece that you see mid photo needs to fit against the lower surfaces so I've temporarily clamped it a full width higher than it will eventually sit. I then took a scrap or stick and used it to scribe the curve by moving the stick up along the curve while making dots with a sharpy. From there, it's a pretty easy exercise in connecting the dots and cutting the excess off. You can spend a lot of time making paper templates and trying to cut things perfect but using little tricks like this can help keep things moving along.
