Ok, so the other day i went to get my 'grab adhesive' / No nails or whatever the equivalent is around the world.
This is what i use......

Anyway, when i went to use it i found that i hadn't sealed it properly last time i used it.
It was just one solid rubbery tube. Now as i have said in other posts...nothing goes to waste in my house.
So, i sliced a section of it...

sliced a dip shape in the middle with my craft knife...Ta Da....a perfect movement holder or dial holder...

The beauty of this stuff is that it is about the right diameter for watch movements...
It is fairly 'tacky' so doesn't slip on any surface and it is vibration free.
And of course you can get about 4 of them out of one tube.
It's as cheap as chips and of course takes no skill to make...
so, there ya go....it works a treat.
Have fun and thanks for looking in.
