[Elecraft] Scratches

[Wayne Reed]

Gang,
    The stuff you are referring to is used a lot by RVers to keep stuff from 
moving about.  One caution, if you leave it in contact with painted items 
for a long time, it will leave marks that may be difficult to remove.  If we 
are talking about the same stuff, it is much cheaper at the various Dollar 
discount stores.
