It was sitting next to me as I posted the last round, if I had bothered
to look -- must be lazy this morning.  It is the February, 1998, issue,
with author Ken Rasmussen, beginning on page 42.

The part I had the most trouble with was in rough cutting the foam to
shape.  I used one of those collapsible Sven saws available at
backpacking outlets.  However, a short carpenter's saw with finer teeth
such as pictured in the article would be better, I think, because the
Sven saw's teeth are pretty coarse -- gives a cut surface which takes
some work to smooth out.  I just duct-taped mine in place, but contact
cement of velcro would be better.
