Always wondered how to cut foam and get it the perfect fit, now watching your videos I now know, Thanks for giving me the inside story.

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

Needed this system a long time ago. Thanks for your system I will pass this along to my friends son who just became an Airframe and Power plant mechanic. He needs this system for his new tool box.

So I’m not alone preferring a smooth bottom 😂
Just got the hot smoothing iron and it works a treat.

And I really liked your video it was informative to the point and your products seem easy to use I'm so glad I watched your video thank you for making it have a nice day

I am giving serious thought to getting a pair of those spinners.

Just bought some shadow foam for my Airsoft kit. Looking forward to trying it out. Hopefully I’ll get a nice smooth bottom.

[MrMilky]

Fabulous. I’m thinking of using the foam in my camper. Loads of ideas.

I've just ordered some foam to make a waterproof hardcase insert for a £2000 oscilloscope. I didn't think or know about smoothers when I ordered the foam, I'll have to see how good the CNC finish is.

My shadow foam order for Dewalt Tough system 2.0 is already in.
I'm now going to Amazon to see if o can pick up these hot foam tools 🙂

[michellefoster]

The hot smoother would be perfect for me to do my microphones in my cases thank you Jonathan I was a very good idea but I do my order I want to put one of my order

[ConlaiBear]

Really liked the video. Funny bloopers at end. Just ordered the dewalt tough boxes and going to get these foams once I've decided how to have all the tools.

[darrenhenney]

These would come in great for when i start to shadow foam my halfords boxes next month

[rayerdinc]

Cool video. Looks a lot better than ‘pick and pluck’, just what I have been looking for! Liked and subscribed.

[rayerdinc]

Cool! Glad I discovered you guys and Shadow Foam. Trying to find something like this for a while, ‘pick and pluck’ foam too soft for my liking and use. Mt project is for my amateur radio equipment.

[GottyTheVerVe]

Shadow foam is probably the best product I've ever used....

[atomskopile]

This is very timely. I need to cut quite a few of these for power tools and they all generally have various thicknesses.

Do you have an estimate when the 50mm Teal foam will be back?

[GriffandZeus]

Do you have a vid on the hot foam finisher (heat gun) tool?

[yusufakh]

Would love to replicate that Ikea picture frame setup you have behind you for my smaller hand tools!

[mycameraneverlies]

Love the videos bro and this one help me out a lot dude keep up the good work
