Floating "bamboo floor" underlay.

I used this for my old 10" which was terribly dinged (Beyond the panelbeater's ability) but perfectly usable. It was first intended for cosmetic reasons, but has the added advantage of reducing dewing due to rapid temp loss/variation. Zip ties to affix to OTA. Have also used it on a couple of old Mak's since.

Also available in gold, and only has 2mm of tight cell foam - just enough/not too thick. It's super light as well. Used by aeromodellers for "wing bags" to protect during transport.

You can also cut the foam to shape a "scope cover" to protect when on mount also, just determine your shape, and no sewing! A hot iron carefully run around the edge "welds" the seam shut and gives a good professional finish.
