[Elecraft] Lightness of the K3

[Deni]

Yes,  but beware, there seems to be various flavours of this rubber mesh 
material.

I used a black material which has now permanently left it's mesh 
fingerprint on top of a rather expensive rig.

Impossible to remove the fingerprint!

I'm now very wary of using this stuff and wouldn't dream of letting it 
near my K3, well maybe underneath is OK.

But do not... put certain brands of this rubbery mesh on top of a 
surface you really care about,  without testing it out!

I have no idea of the chemical composition of this stuff, but you have 
been warned...
