Ironsave Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I have been using these for about 6 months now. They are rubber sand blocks used for woodwork, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironsave Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 Anyway, these can be found at Walmart; etc. They are about $2 per rubber block..... I thought I would pass it on....... [H] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muel Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 That is a pretty clever idea! I am concerned though if there are any marks from the rubber showing up on the finish. You might want to check. I had a cheap clock with rubber feet that I had sitting on a chest that I had finished in tung oil. The feet left black marks that seemed to have soaked into the finish. I have not yet started sanding to see how deep it goes. Boiled Linseed oil might not have the same problem and the "rubber" feet on that clock might have had something on them or perhaps they weren't even actual rubber... I just don't know. I was so mad that I threw the clock out. I'd like to try this if I could protect the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironsave Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 I checked my finish (HWO; recently reoiled with you guessed it.... Boiled Linseed Oil....). I do not see any marks, howerver these rubber blocks have tiny spikes in the grooves; they are designed to hold sandpaper, so you could easily wrap something around them and the spikes will hold it securely. (Thick cotton rag folded over and nicely tucked in?).... Glad you liked the idea..... [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the bottom of the speakers might not be as much of a concern but I'm thinking of Cornwalls on their sides... would be sad to see marks when I tilt them back up again. Glad you didn't find any marks... it would bother me knowing they had marks even where I couldn't see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
