I must confess that being a tight !?*"$:-) I cheated and cut my own
foam from the back of a cheap mouse mat. I tried to track down
the correct foam locally, but very soon gave up. I get the test roll
from my OM10 back tomorrow.
BTW I didn't use any glue at all in the back channels, the hand cut
foam is just wide enough to retain itself. I do have the advantage of
a proper cutting mat which I use for trimming photo's and for picture
framing.
If anyone's interested I'll report on whether it has worked OK.
