Protective foam/styrene for cases

Hi Group

I am looking for someway of lining a wooden transportation case I have built for my mount. I vaguely remember hearing of a "foaming" product that one could squirt into a container then impress the object you are trying to protect (wrapped in plastic) into the "liquid foam", wait for it to set and hey presto - you have (half) a custom made foam/styrene mould.

Is this stuff, if it exists, publicly available? I guess the other alternative is to find a suitably large block of polystyrene and attempt to cut it neatly?

Thanks for any hints, tips or suggestions.

Dennis

PS - I cannot use the original packaging material as it no longer fits ‘cos I have set the mount to my latitude in Brisbane.
