Hi Paddy
Another option which I have used for lining the mount box that I made was to purchase some high density foam from a foam outlet. The mount weights 16kgs so I purchased the most uncompressible foam (black in colour), although there is a softer (blue) foam also available. Both have the advantage that they do not retain water. The shop owner is an industrial chemist and explained that some of these foams are used in body armour!
It was easier building a box around this sheet foam (20mm thick) than the original packaging material. I think it cost me around $30.00 for a square metre.
I’ll try to take some photos and post them, so you can get an idea of their construction.
Cheers
Dennis
