: Do you just use sleeping pad foam?

I guess you could, but minicell is easier to sculpt. As you know, minicell can be rasped or sanded, but I find that Ensolite doesn't like being abraded in this manner. It cuts nicely, though. The minicell I use is actually closer to 3/8", but they call it 1/2".
