DIY Voyager feet? Message #1 Posted by Igor Vilensky on 2 Nov 2007, 8:37 p.m. Any suggestions on using hardware store available materials to fashion Voyager series missing rubber feet replacements? Perhaps thin rubber with some sort of adhesive? There are available thin rubberized magnetic strips with one side already adhesive. Could these negatively affect the electronics? Thank you.

And if the tensile strength is sufficient, what about the stretch limit? Really, thank you for great info, it's great to know such stuff is available, it's ideal for the purpose.
