Box help

BadKarma · #1 07-19-2009, 10:46 AM

I got the box to my m29. The box however is missing all the interior. Has anyone ever re-done one. I was told I could get the velvet from mal wart and use spray on adhesive but to be careful as it might react with the Styrofoam.

Any tips or advice would be appreciated as I dont want to screw it up. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section or if this has been asked a million times.

The spray adhesive is safe to use on styrofoam, I have done it many times with no negative results.

Caution! Not all spray adhesive is safe for the styrofoam. I got some made for gluing fabric and tested it on a spot on the back of the foam bottom of my 29 case. It melted the foam.

My solution was to get a latex paint and spray paint the foam. Then I could spray on the adhesive without melting the foam.

I chose to cover the styro foam bottom AND the foam rubber top with fabric. It's called arctic fleece and is a stretch in all directions material.

Paint the foam with a good covering of paint, let dry, then spray with adhesive. Press the fabric in all the cutouts and all over and you end up with a nice looking but not 100% authentic case.

It's been pictured before but what the heck, I'm very happy with it.
