Foam padding a stainless steel arm cuff.

GaBeachsweeper · Dec 20, 2006

Ok all you detector modifiers out there. And, you KNOW who you are.

I am wanting to pad the inside of a stainless arm cuff on my Garrett Sea Hunter XL500. Seems to me like there is some kind of foam stuff with an adhesive on one side. Like a peel 'n' stickthing but I haven't a clue as to where to find such. Max! Anybody! What do ya know guys? It will make things more comfortable for Miss Cheryl and I would like to learn if such is possible.
Thanks Guys, I bet I have the answer before I get home to my computer tomorrow night.
Happy Hunting
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too!

I went to Lowes and got some blue foam in the insulation department. It's about 1/4" or less thick. I applied it with 3M spray adhesive from an auto parts store. The foam is a closed-cell type, so if it gets wet, the water won't soak through.

I got a nice arm cup with the minelab GT..........it is a little tight for my arm this time of year with heavy jacket on.

Use closed cell plastic foam, and 3M Type 77 adhesive (aerosol spray can). The closed cell foam is often used for packing material and comes in sheets of various thicknesses. You can use the 3M to glue the foam to itself in order to make thicker pads out of thinner stuff. The adhesive is a contact cement, and stays flexible.

You might also consider duct insulation. It comes in a roll with adhesive on one side and silver foil on the other. It's very thin, has an R value of 7, and is easy to cut. (It is also sometimes used to insulate and sound-deaden car body parts.)

Just a thought.

Guys! Great ideas. I will look into each and see which works best on this detector cuff. I knew I could count on you all to answer my question. Any other ideas out there? Thanks a Bunch!
