]]> Comment on The “SuperChuck” beta testing complete by Fuzzy http://www.artbyfuzzy.com/blog/2009/07/21/the-superchuck-beta-testing-complete/comment-page-1/#comment-2832 Fuzzy Fri, 13 Aug 2010 00:06:13 +0000 http://artbyfuzzy.com/blog/?p=381#comment-2832 Hey Pat, Thanks for your comments. I got the shelf liner at Menards but I've seen it at other places like Walmart. The original video I watched used neoprene but the shelf liner was a lot cheaper. It was only a couple dollars for a roll of it. I've never tried it as a Grabber Pad but I think it might work. I guess it would depend on how wet or "sticky" your clay still is when you trim it. Maybe it would help to glue a couple layers of the shelf liner on the bat to make it more sponge-like? I have trimmed a large platter on the rim of the "Super Chuck" and it was heavy enough, and the shelf liner was "sticky" enough to keep it from sliding around. Some day I'll have to try your idea of a "Grabber Pad." Thanks again! Hey Pat,

I'd like to try it myself. Where did you get your black shelf liner material? Also, I've been looking all over for a "Grabber Pad", for use in trimming a foot on plates and saucers, and haven't been able to find one anywhere. In your opinion, would this shelf liner material work in the same manner as a Grabber Pad - you would glue a round piece of it to your plastic bat, and use it to grip the rim of your plate in order to hold it steady while you trim the bottom and make a foot?

I've got some other projects that I've been working on. Nothing made of clay but hopefully soon you'll see what I've been up to. Thanks for the comments, even if you are a little biased….
