Your shadow foam is absolutely brilliant. I’ve not know where to get a proper foam case insert for all of the audio devices that I have. Most of my mics, radio mics, and all sorts of audio kit I have has been using spongy foam from anywhere which does the job but looks such a mess and now the kit can look like a professional case to hold the items. I’ve also shown it to members in a photographic club and again everyone is well impressed with the professional finish available. I’m also finding the coloured foam helps with identification of types of kit where all of one type using its own colour. Brilliant product, well impressed. Thanks, Keith

Standard acoustic foam would catch the bit and become dangerous, eps i think would crumble. Xps is likely to shatter or crack.

Hi Bought the Heated tool but find that it's just too hot to apply to the surface and burns pretty much on contact, not good when I'm using various coloured foams. In fact the only way I can use it is to "Hover"above the foam and let the heat melt the foam back, but any direct contact just makes a black burnt mess pretty much instantly. There iOS no heat control on the tool itself can you suggest a means of controlling the heat.

@nilegriffiths5494 Жыл бұрын
@@ShadowFoam Hi there! All of them. They all suffer with the same problem. they all burn on contact, as said not great with the coloured foam. The other thing I find you have to watch out for is that if I am working in corners, the radiant heat from the stem of the tool is enough to start melting the foam back even at distance. As said, for me, the tool gets way to hot.

So the kaizen style cut&peel line now replaces the spray painted version. Possibly a formulation of acrylic paint/dye and latex ? The fact is that it had a limited lifespan. No abrasives and chemicals were used. Conducive to coin collectors and items on permanent display Not appropriate for hand tools To now go and replace what was fundamentally a flawed product at close to £27 a sheet and spend hours and hours of tracing &cutting for 196 items.Madness Only an idiot would buy your product again . Necessity is the mother of all inventions
