Default Foam overload

Anyone getting lost in their foam collection? I am to the point that I need to somehow label my foams so I know what they are, anyone got any tips? I thought maybe using a wire tie and some sort of label might work, what have you done?

Use a Sharpie Marker to put the type of foam on the inside or side of the foam.

Silver will work or use masking/painters tape & write on the tape & stick it to the inside of the foam.

I would just write on the inside of the foam as well.

I use the sharpie markers black and silver to mark the foams and my foam collection lives in a garbage bag so I can squeeze the air out of it to make it more easily stored.

Overload?

Maybe.

Try putting each set of 4 in a 1gallon zip lock and label the bag w/ a sharpie. Thats what I do anyways.

X2 make sure to punch a hole or 2 in the zip lock back though. you dont want to accidentally trap moisture in there. i also toss one of the silica pouches in there for good mesure.

and no need for a silver or white marker. you can see black or red sharpie marks on the darker foams.

OR, since you have now come to the realization that you should have just gone with a vendors foam (less trouble, no extras, works like it's supposed to...) you could just cut it all up and make pillow.

When I finally developed my foams I was in the same position . I had three large plastic totes full of foams from all manufactures as well as foams I had custom made. In order to clean up and make space, I had a large bonfire one day because a tree had fallen in my yard. I cut the tree up for the fire and then went through all my foams. Anything I found that was questionable, showed signs of foam break down, or could no longer be useful for modifying I burned. I then found a Texas club member on our state web site needing 2.2 foams and for the price of shipping I sent him 12 pairs or so of good quality foams I still had left. He got Panther F400's, ACE doughnuts, Vanquish foams, Pro-Line memory foams, Hot Bodies foams, NWT foams, etc. all for $6. I have tried every foam available before developing my own.
