I will pay you for your time, materials, and shipping expenses. Let me know.

No way! Because of the irregular dimensions of the cubbyhole, it was a PITA to shape the florist's foam. Lots of trial and error. You can do it with just a sharp bread or frozen food knife. It's actually pretty amateurish. I first tried using foam rubber but that wound up an unmitigated disaster. The florist's foam is also pretty messy; lots of foam dust to clean up. Spray painting it after you've shaped it ends the dust problem. While doing it, I though it would be great if someone, with a little more skill and manual dexterity than I have, would make a mold of the cubbyhole and sell cubby inserts and masks for different electronic toys. I'd buy one (or two)!
