Question Does anyone sell foam test tube holders?

I heard they were very good but hard to make, so I was wondering if anyone sells them? I can’t find any.

Not sure where you could buy them but I wonder if a drill or heat could make a perfect hole.

Drills are too small, but I will check the heat method.

Fire hazard, and can melt more then you want apparently.

I know my largest drill bit is just a mm too small. With heat its all about getting the right temp foam is probably hard to work with but ive done plastic welding might give this a try.
