What if you leave a pack of dessicant in the case as well? Dessicant won't do much. Dense, closed cell foam holds moisture really well.

So is their internal foam open-cell or closed-cell foam? I'm specifically looking at the 1700 case. www.pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1700

I just finished cutting out my first Pelican 1750 foam for my completed (finally) first AR build. I used the carving knife technique posted by someone else with reasonable success, but nothing like hot wire stuff. The carving knife sure beat the pick/pluck foam in the micro case (inset on the 1750 in the pic). Larger Image

Oh, I completely agree, and MFINGAR deserves all the credit in the world! My thanks go out to him for his excellent explanation of HOW to do all of this foam cutting. However, I am a lazy man, and would rather spend $60 on a pre-made hot wire cutting table than go through all of the effort of building one.
