Re: Help Needed

I'd suggest some heat shrink tubing used for electrical stuff. That may give you a start in the right direction I hope.

Re: Help Needed

That's one way. Another that I use is to cut a strip of notebook paper the length of the pad you want, and wide enough to encircle the bar several times, Dip the paper in water, wrap it around the bar, and use white glue to hold it in place. Wait until dry, than paint it a foamy color.

Re: Help Needed

I think small strips of surgical tape might work. It might give a convincing texture as well. That's what I'm was going to try on my 037 anyway so right now it's just a theoretical idea on my part.

You try it first and I'll watch

EDIT: Thin filaments of wire for the binding?
