Default Foam Rubber.

I have a couple of Halliburton flight cases which have served me well transporting and storing my cameras and lenses for more than three decades but the foam inserts are starting to break down and produce dust, which is very much a no-no around optical gear.

S
My question being, where to get replacement foam? The current stuff is grey but has a black layer on the top face which is sort of velvety to the touch rather than having the usual texture of foam Rubber.

Also, how do they cut out the holes in this stuff so cleanly? My attempts in the past using knives have always left a horrible jagged edge. Do they use a Laser or something??
