Mathais and all, Another disadvantage is that rubber can imprint patterns on the top of an instrument if you store the rubber in the case on the instrument, articularly in a hot place. The solution is to roll up the rubber sheet and put it in a sealed plasic bag. Then there is no problemwith storing it in your intrument case. Paper bags might work also although I have not tried them.
Best regards, Marion Il mandolino e' molto bello. I'll defend it with a sharp coltello, He who likes it is a jolly good fellow, Those who oppose it stink and smello, In their heads? no brains, just jello. -----Original Message----- From: "Mathias Rösel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: May 16, 2005 2:38 AM To: Lutelist <lute@cs.dartmouth.edu> Subject: Re: Nonskid lute pad reason why I chose rubber, rather than chamois, is that it has more adhesion. Disadvantage is that rubber goes dry and loses its adhesive power after some time so that it has to be replaced.
