    A craft shop, like JoAnn or Michael's. Sold in squares, both with and without sticky backing. Very inexpensive. Works well. If buying the product without sticky backing, buy glue like Elmers... or live dangerously and use contact cement.

    Hi Songyun

    How ya been? well I hope.

    You can buy light seal kits with enough to do several cameras off eBay for very little money. You may want to pick a kit up for several reasons. I've found having all the different thicknesses is needed because if the foam seal is to thin on the back/door it wont be light tight and if it's to thick it will bow the back/door out and again cause a light leak or possible hinge damage .The seal foam is not the same thickness from manufacturer to manufacturer and then sometimes different thicknesses are used on the same back on different areas .

    The kit comes with all different thicknesses as well as instructions and a couple of orange sticks to be used as a tool for insulting the foam seal.

    Hope this helps
