Padding


+ Click For Details
A well-finished mount has no rough edges and is padded where it comes into contact with the object. Padding requirements vary considerably according to the nature and condition of the objects, so we offer a range of materials including felt in sheet or tape form, sueded polyethylene in sheet, Teflon and polyolefin tubings.
All are either adhesive-backed or heat-shrinkable for ease of use.

Benchmark is pleased to offer this wonderful option in padding material. At +/-0.015" thick, our acrylic adhesive-backed sueded polyethylene is thinner than felt. It has a lovely "hand" and cuts very cleanly. A real favorite.  (So, they don't come with pinked edges - that was just for the photo!) 

Available in seven colors
> Single pack gives you three of a single color.

> Multi-color pack gives you one of each color
Each sheet is a nominal 8-1/2" x 12"

          Polyolefin 2:1 Heat-shrink Tubing


          + Click For Details

          This clear flexible tubing is an ideal padding material for brass rod. It shrinks quickly and evenly with a heat gun at temperatures of  275°F/135°C. When freely recovered it will reduce down to 50% of its original inside diameter. Our polyolefin tubing is non-flame-retardant because of potential off-gassing problems associated with flame-retardant materials.

          Sold in 12" lengths, 6 lengths per pack.
