OK, I completed my liner for my sackville rear trunk sack. I used a 12" x 18" x 1/4" thick minicell foam sheet, which I purchased from salamanderpaddlegear. It cost me $5 (plus shipping and a few paddle supplies to round out the order. Fits like it's tailor-made, and certainly takes the slack out.

When I installed it in the bag, I found that the bag is narrower at the top, so the sides of the liner were buckling inward. I cut out the vertical seams and re-glued it, butting the ends together, and it fit perfectly snug. <https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Lk0VFKSpdAo/UFzdZ2WuGWI/AAAAAAAAARs/lVKOQVtkoZc/s1600/aP9210006.jpg> so the blank you need to cut for this is narrower at each top edge by about 1/8". Sorry I didn't write down the dimensions, but where I started from was measuring the bottom panel on the outside. Got a 30-mile ride Sunday, and will take some cold beer - and water.
