This is a sidewise answer to your question, but why don't you just buy a
kit
from John Hermanson (Camtech)?  I can't imagine the aggravation of
cutting
pieces, especially when I know that there are pre-cuts that fit exactly
to
the purpose. The piece you want is adhesive-backed in the kit version
BTW.

I've never bought one of John's foam kits but I know that it's not
adhesive backed since I know he cautions against using same... see the
instructions at his site:

Having tried to install adhesive backed foam in a friend's Pentax I can
heartily agree.  The cost was lots of aggravation and a blown test roll
of film which showed that it needed to be done over again.  I got it
right the second time around from a light leak standpoint but it still
looks ugly.  And I don't ever want to use any of that !%$#&^^!@# self
stick foam again... ever!

I agree.  Buy one of John's kits and follow his directions.
