Foam!!

[Whippy]

My search powers are weak (old man) and I can't seem to find some replacement foam for my EP case (perhaps stop chopping and changing would be a good start eh?). Has anyone got a handy link for the 'diced' pluckable stuff?

Ta muchly

Tony,

I had a look at these when I was trying to line an old case for eyepieces (ended up with a pre-foamed case from Maplin for £15) but worth a look - not sure if it will meet your needs though (and might be relatively expensive - can't remember???)

They are £30 at the moment but often reduced to around £15

I too used this ebay seller - great product - just wish they would sell in smaller quantities!

This great in a small tool box (with carry tray £5 from Tesco) takes all my eyepieces and accessories in 1 handy container.

Crikey - I wondered what you were on about but just checked and they are indeed reduced to £14.99. They were £30 when I originally posted - must by psychic !!!

WOW! Well done, I'm tempted to get one myself. I think I paid £15 or the foam alone last time. 8)

I checked using Bill's link http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=36796&C=Maplin&U=SearchTop&T=CASE&doy=26m10

They seemed a bit confused at the shop until I told them I'd checked their stock level online (8 at the time I think), then they went and had a "proper" look...

I'm very pleased with it, compared to the Lidl ones it seems better built and comes with the all important pluck foam.

Quick question here, I've put my eyepieces in with just caps on, should I really be storing them in the bolt cases/boxes inside the case? I do put a few silica sachets in as well.

Hugh, that's a good question. Mine just live in a case with their caps on and I use a couple of large-ish silica gel sachets. I've never had a problem but I am prepared to be convinced that there is a beter way to go.

Cheers,

Keith
