You can do it. Stick the foam in the freezer, it makes it easier to cut.

Use an electric knife to cut it. Works fine.

Now I want to try it. If I get in trouble for putting foam in the freezer its all your fault.

They using different foam than they use to? Use to be pretty stiff,and easy to cut,with an electric knife ,like someone mentioned.

Thank you all for all the good advice.
I was able to speak to a tech rep for Pelican and he said to purchase an electric knife that cuts foam... I picked one up on Ebay for $30.

I used pick n pluck foam then sprayed it with a can of Plasti dip afterward and it is tough as nails.

I like the plasti- dip idea!

I also used a hot knife as mentioned above. I traced an outline on cardboard then shaved the dimensions down on the cardboard so it'd fit somewhat tight. Be sure you have achieved the final set up of your gun.

My electric fillet knife cut through it like hot butter.

Go to a good hobby shop (not a hobby lobby or anything like that) and get a foam cutting blade for a exacto knife. They are long and will do the trick. Not expensive either. About 3-4" long.
