Foam for camera bag.

Hi, after having someone attempted to steal my camera bag from me (ThinkTank Holster) I am going to start carrying my camera in a plain old black rucksack.

To make this perfect I am after some foam that could be cut to the shape of my camera, any ideas as to where I can get some?

Thanks

Re: Foam for camera bag.

best bet might be either a DIY shop or haberdashery shop, also a stationary shop might sell foam for packaging?

or just ask these guys I saw online, next day delivery

"Pelican" hard cases have foam inserts that can be shaped according to your needs by pulling out small cubes of foam that are attached to their neighbours in a 3D grid. It works really well. Google for Pelican resellers and you should find one that will sell the foam inserts on their own.
