drand48a Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I have a new pair of powered speakers I use for keyboards, and I want to protect them (and my walls) from scuffs. I previously used JBL floor monitors, which were covered in a durable felt, which really worked great. I can't seem to find that material available anywhere, especially not self-adhesive, and I don't want to mess with adhesive spray. (I'd rather not glue myself to a wall, for example.) The best I can find is 1/16" felt, like this: https://www.amazon.com/ROLL-THICK-SELF-ADHESIVE-PROTECTIVE/dp/B00BCQS67U/ Of course, it'll be tricky to cover the corners, which are the parts that take (and give) the most abuse. Has anyone tried this and have any advice, especially a better (thicker) material? 1/16" seems a bit thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuruPrionz Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Use the largest "stick on" feet you find at a Kroger's store or your favorite hardware store. Put 4 feet on each side, top and bottom and the back -20 feet per cabinet. If possible put feet on the front panel too, that would be 24 feet per cabinet. Done. Easy.

drand48a Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 That's an idea, thanks! Not quite the look I'm going for, but definitely something to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy and fairly cheap. Also easily reversed. Covering cabinets is more difficult than it appears, don't ask me how I know this!!!

Baldwin Funster Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Spray on rubber bed liner. About 7 bucks a can at Harbour freight. Not removable but easy to touch up . 1 Quote FunMachine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try it without scuffing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is extremely toxic and evaporates at fairly low temperatures. Full protective gear in a wide open well=ventilated space is a requirement.
