Micro Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 What kind of foam do you guys use to place into areas like painted wheel wells to protect them while other painting is done? And I guess not just what kind but where do you get it? All I've been able to find is floral foam which doesn't work at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arnobiz Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 The foam Aires uses as padding in their clamshell boxes works great. Eduard uses the same on their BigSin boxes Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tato Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Hi Micro, I know you are asking about foam, but here is a cheap alternative that I have been using since forever. Cut toilet paper in small pieces and then slightly moisten them with a brush. This allows to reach every corner and protect the entire surface because once it dries, the toilet paper becomes stiff and does not move. Hope this helps.

Chuck1945 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 For foam I use the packing foam Harry & David use in their fruit boxes but more often I just tear a piece of paper towel dampen it and fit it into the opening much like Arnobiz described with TP Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Micro Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 Thanks all for the tips. I found out the stuff I'm looking for is called "high density foam" and is sold at places like fabric stores. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
goondman Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Since we're on the topic of foam, what kind of foam for paint chipping? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
