Product Information
Full details
The Peli Pick N Pluck foam insert is designed for photographers, outdoor enthusiasts, and professionals who use the Peli 1040 Micro Case to transport sensitive gear. This accessory allows you to create a custom-fitted interior that cradles your equipment, providing superior shock absorption and protection against vibration or accidental drops. While it offers excellent security for your items, keep in mind that the process is permanent; once you remove the foam cubes, they cannot be reattached, so careful planning is required before you begin the pluck process.

FAQs
Is this foam compatible with cases other than the Peli 1040?
No, the Peli 1042 foam insert is specifically designed for the internal dimensions of the Peli 1040 Micro Case.
Do I need a knife to cut the foam?
No, the cubes are pre-perforated and can be removed by hand.
Can I wash the foam if it gets dirty?
It is recommended to use air-dusting or a light brush. Submerging the foam in water may make it difficult to dry completely, potentially leading to mold.
How much space should I leave for protection?
Always maintain a minimum of one inch of foam buffer between your device and the hard wall of the case.
What happens if I change my equipment?
Because the foam is customized to a specific shape, you may need to purchase a new insert if your equipment layout changes significantly.
Troubleshooting
Foam feels too loose after plucking
Ensure you leave at least one inch of wall thickness between the gear and the case edge for structural integrity.
Accidentally plucked too many blocks
While permanent, you can use a small amount of non-solvent adhesive to reattach blocks, though this will not regain the original material strength.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, remove the standard lining from your Peli 1040 Micro Case and insert the new foam block. Ensure that your item is centered, leaving at least one inch of foam thickness on all sides and at the base. To maintain the integrity of the foam, keep it away from extreme heat and moisture, which can degrade the material over time. If the foam becomes dusty, gently tap it to remove debris rather than using liquid cleaners, which may soak into the foam pores and compromise its structural durability.
