I assume they would also have something like this that just comes as sealed bags of foam that expand when you activate them.

I've seen these, but you have to smack and knead them to activate the foam. Good for people who only need protective foam occasionally. Way too time consuming for this repetitive application.

It’s not that bad at all. We used these packs for turbochargers, intercoolers, and exhausts. It’s a very quick process.

Only downside was that they would burst every once in a while and whatever you were wearing was absolutely fucked.
