Model boat stand padding

<< < (4/4)

Peter Fitness:
I use the neoprene mentioned by tugboyben on all my stands, with no problems even after years of use. I use a thickish version, about 5 or 6 mm thick and about 15 mm wide.

Pat Matthews:
Mouse mat, but not just any! My local office supply shop offers 1/4" thick black mouse padding, it's great! I secure the rubber side to wood with CA, holds perfectly well. The fabric side is friendly to painted surfaces, never adheres to paint as some rubber will. Only down-side: It's a little bit slippery, so you can't count on friction to stop the boat from sliding around on the pads... use other features in the cradle if the hull would otherwise like to get away during transport.
