The pre-cut parts are easy to separate out, so you can quickly make the appropriate forms. I use the foam in my optic trunk, have a permanent place in the now 4 very different optics. I can say nothing about the resistance to aging, experience has shown that any foam begins after a few years to decompose into small parts - which would not be so good just for photography accessories ... The alternative would be a foam rubber artigens material but much more difficult to edit.
