This isn't that off-topic, in my opinion.

It seems to me that there should be science involved in the selection
of packing foam taking into account the amount of force the packed
object can accept, and giving an optimal density of foam for packing
it.  So, where is this documented?  There must be people who sell
manufacturers foam for packing, but I can't find anything useful.

What's the optimum density for packing a K2 for mailing?  For sending
as luggage?  The same for a KPA-800?

   This is a bit off of the normal topics but since there are a lot of
   portable operators on this list, I figure somebody may be able to
   help me out.

   I have a good transport case for my KX-1 and accessories but I'm
   having a hard time finding some good foam to line the case
   with. I'd really like to find some of the pre-scored foam to make
   it easier to shape for the contents.

   I've tried the local hobby shops but all they seem to carry is the
   low density foam. Not suitable for my needs.

   Any input would be greatly appreciated.
