What kind or foam for pickups?

[geminiswp]

Pocket Depth = .75"
J Pickup Height = .975"
P Pickup Height = .67"

J Total Pickup HPP = 1.725"
P Total Pickup HPP = 1.42"

Now to figure out the string height....

I also need the distance from the bottom of the pocket to the string?

 

[geminiswp]

P bottom of pocket to string = 1 3/16"
J bottom of pocket to string = 1 1/4"

I bought a roll of weatherstrip from the local hardware store years ago and it's essentially the same thing they sell for pickups, except you get a roll of 20 ft of the stuff for $10 instead of 6 inches for $20 from a music store.

^^^^ This!

Or a mouse pad.
