Let's do it. I think we can find a sheet of foam at the big box hardware stores. I probably need 20 of them. How does your cutter work? Handheld?

Yup, battery powered handheld. But we can use my metal rulers as a guide to cut along. I think we'd need some batteries though. I have some wood we can use under it too as a bottom guide and then just slide it along the two for an even slice.
