| Can anyone recommend a good rubber mat for gunsmithing? |
| i dont know of any but one with a good magnet built in to it would be cool, i had a gunsmith do some work to my sw457 and he dropped a little metal peice and it bounced and went to the floor never found it so he have to order another. told him as long as he fixed it. |
| I use rubber carpet runner, (the ribbed kind). You can buy it by the foot at Menards or Home Depot. I put fresh newspaper over the area that will get wet w/solvent & the ribs keep small parts from rolling too far. When it gets too bad to hose off, just cut another pc. Not real pretty, but it works for me! You can get a steel bowl at Sears that has a magnet built into the bottom, (automotive dept) for your small parts. My COLT & S&W gun mats are just for looks, I'd hate to get them dirty. Good luck, ALLONS11 |
| You can also get rubber gasket material in sheets and on a roll any thickness. It will be chemical resistant to just about anything. I have a 3/16 thick one. You can get it from real pipe supply joints and or ship yard supply companies. I have bought it in 48" squares and in rolls |
