Default sticky back felt for devere 504 lightbox

Hi

the felt that sits around the opening that gets compressed onto the neg carrier is very much worse for ware on my De vere 504

can anybody direct me to a good replacement

I thought about using the felt part of velcro but I'm a bit worried that it will get hot and make a mess

It needs to be about 10mm wide and 2 mm thick

thanks

robin

You might try try 10mm velvet ribbon (from a habadashers) and double sided tape - a low -cost fix.

If you are in the area and can drop in or for a fully engineered felt solution - you could try Dobsons:

I have called in and bought off-cuts for smal change.

Good luck.

Hi Robin
I second what Kiteboy says about 10mm velvet ribbon, I purchased mine from a local haberdasher. I have used the same for my Beseler enlarger and in the past for a Durst Laborator that I had it works a treat.
regards
Richard
