My main imaging scope has rings that have some self adhesive flocking on the inside. This appears to have started to come away. Does anyone know where I can get some of this?

Cheers

Malcolm

:thumbsup: I use the sticky back felt used for furniture sliders , its cheap and comes in many sizes from Bunnings . These are soft and strong , greyish/brown in colour.

The best one for rings is the squares , about 150mm x 150mm and just cut strips the width of your rings , put as many layers on as necessary to make the rings tight on the tube .

Hope this helps .

Brian.

That should be felt, not flocking (too thin). As per Brian, or you can buy felt from Spotlight and glue it - PVA works fine.

Spotlight has A4 size sheets of self adhesive felt. I used two layers of that for my tube rings. Works well. I went for white so it doesnt stain the ota.
