I used black 3mm epa foam . If you search 130p upgrades on youtube you will find a few tutorials. A lot of people do this and it is totally worth it.

Yeah, I've seen some of the shrouds people have made but haven't made one myself yet. I have had some problems with dew but only on the eyepiece and finder so far, which wouldn't be affected by a shroud.
I also greased the focuser threads and dimmed down the finder, both of which have made the scope much more pleasant to use.
