Nice coverage in the January/February Premier Guitar Mag

Brad,
Silicon is sold at uppercrust baking supply places for cookie sheets but you would have to perforate it yourself if that's what you want. These are the thin ones:

There are thicker ones sold individually.

Yeah I know, don't want that stuff, thanks I guess.

It's a funny thing when one says "anybody know about this stuff" and people chime-in with "whattabout that stuff?" I suppose it's nice but doesn't help really, but thanks though, I guess.

Just out of curiosity, why are you so interested in "this stuff"? I'm looking at it simply from the perspective of a nice soft bench surface that will let a guitar sit still and not get scratched. Presumably there is some other application or context that you have in mind which hasn't occurred to me at all.

Can I ask what it is?

I use it in other areas in my shop, for instance assembly of PCB's is a good example. The crappy foam stuff which keeps getting mentioned, snags on the bottoms of the PCB as they get built where the silicone stuff does not.

I also use the matt in assembling my Rick bridge pickup base brackets which are finished then assembled and the silicone stuff helps hold them still and unscathed.

All clear?

In crystalline fashion, my friend.

Makes perfect sense.
