FAQs
What is the Peli 1062 foam insert for?
The Peli 1062 is a replacement Pick 'N' Pluck foam insert designed specifically for the Peli 1060 Micro Case. It allows you to customize the interior to securely hold and protect your equipment from shock and vibration.
How do I customize the foam?
The foam features pre-scored one-inch cubic perforations. You can easily pull out these cubes to create custom shapes that match your equipment's contours.
Can I use this foam with other Peli cases?
No, the Peli 1062 foam insert is designed exclusively for the Peli 1060 Micro Case and will not fit other models.
How much protection does this foam offer?
It offers optimal protection against shock and impact by providing cushioning and preventing items from moving. The foam absorbs vibrations and reduces the risk of damage during transit.
What if I remove too much foam?
If you remove too much foam, the item may not be held securely. You can sometimes compensate by layering smaller, cut foam pieces or by purchasing additional foam inserts if available.
Is the foam waterproof?
The foam itself is not waterproof. It is designed to absorb shock and vibration. The protection against the elements comes from the Peli 1060 Micro Case itself.
How should I clean the foam?
Clean the foam with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the foam in water. Always allow it to air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Foam does not fit the Peli 1060 case properly.
Ensure you are using the Peli 1062 model, which is specifically designed for the 1060 Micro Case. Double-check that the foam has not been excessively trimmed or damaged.
Difficulty removing foam perforations.
Gently pull the foam cubes. If resistance is met, try wiggling the section slightly. Ensure you are only removing the intended cubes and not tearing larger sections.
Items are still loose after customizing foam.
Carefully remove more foam sections around the item's outline to create a tighter fit. Consider using smaller, multi-layered foam pieces if needed for a more secure hold.
Foam smells unusual.
New foam can sometimes have a slight manufacturing odor. Air out the foam in a well-ventilated area for 24-48 hours. The smell should dissipate.
