[sdiy] Anvil Case Foam Rubber - Where to get it?

[Mike Beauchamp]

Hey Michael, just noticing your picture.. is the foam actually ruined
the finish of your Chroma, or is it merely stuck overtop and covering
it up?

If it was mine, and it seemed like the finish was still preserved
underneath the foam now stuck onto it... I would try to get rid of it
in a really tiny spot, by using something like acetone to melt the
foam away.. and then wipe off right away before it gets to the finish.
No clue if this would work, but like I said, if it was me, I'd
definitely try it on a small area first.

My only experience with foam is removing the rotted out foam from a
few old cameras, and acetone worked pretty well for that.

Mike
