      Thanks chaps for your all your replies regarding the foam rubber on boat stands and painted boats sticking to them.

      I managed to get hold of some black felt, doubled it over so it's about 1/8" thick and fixed it to the stand with a smalll screw in a cup washer well away from the hull so no glue or solvents anywhere neer the boat. So far it's all ok.

      I can't take credit for it being my idea but hope anyone with the same problem can do the same to avoid disapointment.

      I knew I could rely on you guys to come up with the solution, thank goodness we have the forum.

      Regards to all

      Mike.

          Mike,

          I also have experienced a problem with foam rubber in support cradle and adhesion to boat's painted surface. I'm not sure where to get "black felt" – is it as simple as going to a habadashery and asking for a metre of "black felt" ? Any guidance would be gratefully received.

            Ian. It is that easy. Any large haberdasherers will have felt.

            Need a proper shop, not a department in a store. ALTHOUGH some department stores will have hobby/craft sections which will have felt.

            OR TRY hobby`s… http://www.hobby.uk.com everyone whould have this website, fantastic for materials and bits. 356x660mm squares of felt they do, and in black.
