wymberley Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 The heavy long guns have had to go and they've been replaced with something more suitable. The problem now is that the double gun motor case needs 'adjusting' to fit. All I can think of is high density foam whatever that is - I really haven't a clue. Could anyone kindly give me a steer as to what I could best use to pack the compartments to suit. I imagine something that could be sawn would have a neater finish. I'm fine with the baize.

MTIA Balsa wood Make a suitable block to suit the empty space - but slightly undersized Once you have checked that it is a good fit, you can then cover it with some suitable material to match the inside case liner material. Once this is done, a small square of adhesive backed Velcro added to the insert & the body of the case where it is to be placed, should keep it all in position & prevent accidental movement or loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The baize and the sticky backed velcro were already on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I have altered numerous cases in the past and cut wooden blocks to suit and cover in baize for a more permanent fix. A quick fix is high density foam, the stuff you can’t squish, cut to a tight fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fil Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I use battening. It's the perfect size for most jobs, easily available and then cover in baize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Well dried soft wood such as Pine , cut to fit , cover visable sides witha suitable felt /baise , Copydex is as good as anything for this then glue in with a PVA or similar .
