FAQs

What material is the foam made of?

The foam is made from 100% Polyethylene, making it durable yet lightweight.

What are the exact dimensions of the foam sheet?

The foam sheet measures 1200mm in width, 550mm in depth, and 50mm in height.

How do I create a custom fit for a specific tool?

Trace the tool onto the foam, then carefully peel away layers of the foam to create a cavity that matches the tool's shape and depth.

Can this foam be used in a rolling tool chest?

Yes, it can be cut to size to fit any tool drawer, including those in rolling tool chests, for better organization.

Is the blue color on the top or bottom layer?

The foam has a black top layer and a blue interior layer, providing a visual contrast.

How heavy is the foam sheet?

The foam sheet weighs approximately 1.19kg.

What is the best way to clean the foam?

Clean the foam using a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Foam is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use a very sharp, fresh utility knife blade. Apply steady, even pressure. Consider using a cutting mat for a stable surface.

Peel layers are tearing instead of peeling cleanly.

Ensure you are only peeling the intended layer. Sometimes a slight pull at an angle helps. Make sure the knife cut is deep enough to define the peel area.

Tools do not fit snugly after cutting.

Re-measure the tool and the cavity. Carefully peel away additional thin layers to achieve a tighter fit. Ensure the foam has not compressed unevenly.

Foam smells strongly.

This is common with new polyethylene products. Allow the foam to air out in a well-ventilated area for 24-48 hours before use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables highly organized and custom tool storage.
  • Visually appealing with clear tool identification.
  • Durable and lightweight construction.
  • Adaptable to various tool tray sizes and shapes.
  • Straightforward customization process.

Cons

  • Requires precise cutting for optimal results.

  • Only one color option available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure the tools you wish to organize and the dimensions of your drawer or tray.
  2. Use a sharp utility knife or craft knife to carefully cut the foam to the desired shape and size for your tray.
  3. For custom tool cavities, use the "easy peel" feature by marking the tool's outline on the foam and gently peeling away the necessary layers to create a snug fit. You can peel to specific depths to accommodate different tool sizes.

Compatibility:

This foam is compatible with most standard toolboxes, drawers, and workbenches. Its dimensions (1200mm x 550mm x 50mm) allow it to be cut down to fit smaller spaces or used in conjunction with larger storage systems.

Care:

  • Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to prevent degradation.
  • Ensure tools are clean and dry before placing them in the foam to prevent moisture buildup.
