I love to see peoples custom toolboxes with the foam. I have an Armstrong USMC GMTK tool kit and it’s a heavy sucker. 106 pounds lol.

An alternative to the hot glue would be contact cement. I don't know what brand you have in Canada but in the states the good stuff if Barge Cement. It's used to glue soles to shoes and is incredibly strong if applied correctly. The trick is to apply to both surfaces, let it dry until it's tacky, then (carefully) sick them together. You would need to rough up that acrylic with sandpaper first though.
Another alternative is spray adhesive like Super 77 (I think that's what it's called) but I've never used that stuff so I don't know how strong it is, I just know it's kinda messy.

Thanks for this detailed vid, very helpful. I'll be doing the same

Not sure why you didn’t slot the polypropylene for the handles. That way there would be more support for the layer, and the glue issues would be nonexistent

Great vid. Never done this but wonder if a Dremel tool would be useful for clean cutouts for the tools?

[jimhansen]

Good video - working on a similar project - I wonder if double sided velcro would work for the handles?

3M Super 77 or Super 90 is best for foam.

I have one, love it! Much cheaper than the pelican brand. Have you ever tried removing the lid?
I need to remove the lid to perform some mods but I don't want to ruin it...

I find that it's cheaper to buy a case with foam then buying foam for some random case u have.
