I've used plate packing material from U-Haul, cut about an 1/8th inch larger
than the plastic backing plates.  It's lasted a few years longer than did
the original foam.

|Dear Volks,
|
|What foam material have people used that gave good long-term results?
|
|Side note:  I'm scratching my head about an elegant fix for the
|hanging flaps (which don't have to seal well but do have to swing
|very freely).  There will be some photos presently.  So far I have
|scratches on my head. <g>
