Members BDAZ Posted June 20, 2014 Author Members Report Posted June 20, 2014 I found some 1/32 self adhesive cork at Hobby Lobby for $4 and it was perfect! Thin enough and also a firm grip on the leather. Thanks! Bob Quote
Members Colt W Knight Posted July 15, 2014 Members Report Posted July 15, 2014 You can buy adhesive tread tape at the hardware store in various widths. It comes in rolls. Quote
Members BDAZ Posted July 15, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 15, 2014 I would be afraid that the coarser anti slip materials would mar the leather. Thanks Bob Quote
Members oldtimer Posted July 16, 2014 Members Report Posted July 16, 2014 Use your straight edge as it is, scratch a line with an awl and then cut along the scratched line with a round knife. The proper way to do it! Quote "The gun fight at the O.K. corral was actually started by two saddlemakers sitting around a bottle of whiskey talking about saddle fitting"...
Members Pablo27 Posted July 17, 2014 Members Report Posted July 17, 2014 I have some Stainless steel straightedges and have used both Gorilla tape, and good shelf liner to solve the problem. Put the shelf liner on there with double-sided carpet tape. Works on triangles also. But marking then cutting like Oldtimer said is the best way I've found, but you still need your straightedge to stay still to mark it.. Paul Quote In God We Trust....
Members BDAZ Posted July 17, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) The 1/32nd cork from Hobby Lobby was the PERFECT solution! $6 took care of all my straight edges, from 1' to 6' including a few extra thin home made ones. Cya! Bob Edited July 17, 2014 by BDAZ Quote
