I just purchased the various components for a vacuum chuck system including a Oneway drum chuck (http://www.oneway.on.ca/vacuum/drum_chucks.htm). The drum chuck instructions (http://www.oneway.on.ca/pdf/drum_chucks.pdf) include a section explaining how to attach the neoprene to the chuck. Right after that step, the following "tip" is listed:
Neoprene is supplied with this product as we believe every product should be useable right out of the box. However, we feel a better method of padding is using polyethylene foam and a spray adhesive. Polyethylene foam is used in all types of product packaging, especially for packaging electronic equipment. It is readily available from most office supplies stores, or check with any local electronics suppliers, or Moving Company (e.g. U-Haul), in the off chance thay have some they could donate to your cause. If you still prefer the Neoprene, we would happily supply it to you.
That makes me think I shouldn't bother with attaching the neoprene. Do you use the neoprene or another method for padding? If another method, what padding and adhesive do you use and where do you get it? Thanks for the input!
