Replacement foam for a larger Pelican case

Need to some replacement foam for a larger Pelican case.

Besides Pelican's original Pick 'N Pluck foam, what are some other options? I know the Pelican foam is pre-diced, but I was wondering if I could find something similar (don't need it diced) and much cheaper. This is a large case too, so leftover packaging scraps are probably out of the question.

I'm in San Jose if there are any local shipping/packaging shops.

Thanks MeFi.

Wouldn't a local hobby store have this foam? I'm thinking it's the same basic gray foam that you can find in most packaging.. I would check around and see if you can get it local thru a hobby store before ordering online.

Find out your local 'Large trash' day and swipe some ugly couch cushions? Dual deed: Get what you want, and get a 1970's Rust Colored Abomination into the landfill where it belongs.

- Only half-joking. I DO know that seat foam isn't as dense as pick-n-pluck. Depends on the weight of what you're securing as to whether or not that matters.

Best answer: Get thee to House of Foam in downtown Palo Alto. They have an enormous selection, and I never looked for a foam that they didn't have.

Transpak on Duane Ave. used to have everything, but they aren't cheap. I second JDM too.
