Source of camera foam.

[Duane Polcou]

Greetings. Does anyone know of the availability of camera foam?
I am looking to replace the foam on a Wista between the rear standard and the interchangeable bellows. Every source I've seen looks to be for 35mm SLR's. Thanks in advance.

You can get sheets of thin foam and black felt at hobby shops such as Michaels and Hobby Lobby and others, as they are staples in arts and crafts. You can even get some of these materials with peel-n-stick backs. All you need is a ruler and a sharp knife to cut these materials to the size you need, and if you don't get the self-adhesive style, you can use trim adhesive or craft cement to glue these to the camera in question.

Two or three years ago, I had to replace the foam seals on a Horseman VH. I bought a set from an ebay seller named interslice and it did the job very well.

Duane, I have some thin adhesive backed foam that may work, and I also have some adhesive backed black felt. If you would like I can drop some in the mail, PM me with your address if you are interested.

The camera seal kit below worked well to replace the foam on my 5x7. I'd buy this stuff again:

Thanks for the info, guys!

FYI....I went to Fleabay and ordered some foam last night around 3 am, and the seller has already emailed me a reply and order confirmation.

Just ordered mine, will be send to Holland for my repairs in July.
It is a pitty that he doesn't have more items on ebay, but sending him an email never hurts.

I have been getting my foam from McMaster Carr.
