Foam for kydex press

[Tony Manifold]

What kind of foam are you using for kydex presses? The first type I used was a firm cushion type foam and that was too soft. Next I used a much firmer foam from a sleeping pad and it worked good but now there is a indent permently in the foam. Any ideas?

I like to use those cheap anti-fatigue mats from Harbor Frieght. They need to be cut to size and stacked up 3 or 4 high. I use allot of pressure to make a deep form. Be sure to use the smooth side or the little squares will indent your kydex.

Carpet padding. The solid yellow kind, not the stuff made from pressed together scraps.
