Premium Members Stephen Murphy Posted October 4, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 I need to get some of my cases re-foamed and im wondering if anyone here has any recommendations for a supplier in the UK or Europe? Im looking for the semi-rigid kind, not the pick N pluck stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members RobVanGelder Posted October 5, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 I would look into the yellow pages for the P.A. cases and such. There are in almost every big city some guys making this stuff and they often have a large supply of foam in different sizes and strength. I did this when I had to make a case for my Master, went to their shop and could look around and choose on the spot. They were very friendly and helpful, I had my case in less then 14 hours!

Premium Members Simon Jayes Posted October 5, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Dear Stephen, It has been a while since I have been in Britain, but when I was, I did a lot of business with CP Cases. Sixteen years ago, I would really recommend them! Anyway, here's their info: CP Cases Ltd Worton Hall Industrial Estate Worton Road Isleworth Middlesex TW7 6ER England Tel: +44 (0) 208 568 1881 Fax: +44 (0) 208 568 1141 Email: info@cpcases.com Best regards, Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Fisher Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hi Stephen, I can highly recommend CP cases, however you may find it quite expensive for them to make custom foam inserts as it is all CNC and there will be a 'programming' charge per different design. If pick-n-pluck is not your scene then look for a 'foam-converter' - that is the general name for foam guys. They usually hang out in a cold industrial unit in the back-of-beyond with HUGE pile of foam, a big bandsaw and a 'hot-wire'... The type of 'foam' used is often called LD18-45 or Plastazote. Good luck Ben Fisher ben@unitcine.com UNITCINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
