Slide foam over sandpaper a couple of times. Look at the bottom of foam. If it has only been sanded in a one or two spots, scrape them with a hacksaw blade to take those areas down a little faster. Repeat until the paper is sanding over the whole bottom of the foam. Which, obviously, means the foam is now conforming to the bottom. Before applying, and after removing the sand paper, while the foam is on the bottom exert firm but light pressure. Try to slide stiff but flexible object, eg, the hacksaw blade, underneath the foam. That will also help give you a feel for the fit.
