    Where to get 'egg crate' foam?

    Hey guys

    Anyone know where I can get the stuff to line a rifle case? Preferably in Christchurch or North Canterbury. Bit of a random story... a hedgehog got into my garage, climbed into my rifle case (which was standing slightly open) for some unknown reason, got stuck, pissed itself and died... Don't worry @Stag, it's not the one I borrowed from you!

    Cheers, Rob

    Yeah, I'd checked Para Rubber's website thanks @dannyb & @Cordite - at $110 per square metre, it was a bit rich for me. I'd be better to just buy a new case, but I hate chucking things out. Warehouse is currently the cheapest for a $45 topping pad @Gapped axe, so that is my best alternative. Formans is a good idea @gonetropo, I might see if our rep can hook me up with a 'sample'.

    Thanks for the offer @gonetropo, you're a top bloke. I popped down to Para Rubber this arvo (looks like Clarks is the Aussie equivalent, @Dicko). Yeah, they had heaps, but heapest option (a bunch of offcuts) was gonna cost me $50+. Sorry, but that's just silly. Will keep my eye out in secondhand stores etc. for an old cot mattress or something.

    Sorry for the sloppy grammar in the original post leading to some misunderstandings...!
