Custom case, what foam should i use?

[Chazzy]

Hey, im building a custom hardcase for my bc rich mockingbird since the crappy gig bag broke... I want to know which type of foam, or felts are safe for the guitars finish as it will be spending most of its life in there... I also would like to know where i could buy this kinda material?

Doesn't really matter. The biggest concern would be to make sure the adhesive fully dries/cures before putting your guitar into the case. A week should be fine unless your guitar is finished in lacquer.

I heard somewhere certain foams are not good for guitars with a glossy finish?
