Allways check the foam you intend to use. Not every brand has the same
specs. An ohmmeter reading of more than 1 meg accross an inch will be
Ok.

For fixing board sagging problems I love those rubber pencil ereasers.
You can cut them up in any shape you like and fix them with a dab of
epoxy
so they won't come loose.
