Dash Foam

[Smokin Diesel]

So I'm in the process of recovering my dash for my elcamino. I know it's not a square body, but if it works correctly, I'll have a square body dash to do too... Yes, I know I could buy a new one, but some things I like to try myself too. One thing I can never quite find, has to do with the foam. I've seen some people use spray foam of some sort, some bondo, fiberglass, or even polyvalence padded dash filler. All of that stuff is too stiff, so I'm wondering what someone would use for the foam itself. I've asked on some groups on facebook, and all I get is that it's a trade secret, why would they let it out and lose out on money... Which I do get to some extent... So anyone have any idea on something close to the same "squishiness". Thanks

Fabric store has big sheets of foam, maybe like a 3/4 thick piece? Maybe 1/2. Then use quality spray adhesive.

You’ll have to experiment with what’s available to you… it will probably be expensive and frustrating… and in the end you’ll have way more time and energy involved than it’s worth… just my opinion.
