Default Re: Rescuing and repairing turntable mats.

I had this problem in the summer where someone was desperate for a small record player. I had fully restored the UK made Emerson baby record player some years earlier and had stored it on its side for a few years. Upon getting it ready to sell, I opened the lid only to find the mat folded over onto itself and breaking down into a gooey mass. I too used this gripper mat and it looked good glued onto the platter. I did fiddle a bit to get the perfect edge since the mesh appearance of the mat leaves a few stringy offcuts but overall not bad.
