Members Bach42t Posted July 24, 2010 Members Share Posted July 24, 2010 I have a 12U on-stage desktop rack and I need to rack my Waldorfs. Are there any particular screws that I can use that won't damage the paint or is this just a fact of racking gear?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bach42t Posted July 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 24, 2010 Sweet thanks. These instruments have been in my closet for almost a year, I need to get them out but didn't know how to do it without killing the faceplates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stillearning Posted July 24, 2010 Members Share Posted July 24, 2010 I've never used rubber washers, but I have used both nylon and hard fibre washers with no damage to the faceplates at all, and they hold very firmly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Umbra Posted July 24, 2010 Members Share Posted July 24, 2010 My washers are nylon which don't scratch as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add these to ensure no "hum" and to protect the rear of the faceplates as well. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SW/ ~M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aymat Posted July 24, 2010 Members Share Posted July 24, 2010 Ive tried them all.... nylon washers work best in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Miket156 Posted July 24, 2010 Members Share Posted July 24, 2010 Suit & Tie Guy: You're quite welcome. One thing about Sweetwater is they will send you what they have posted on their website. No, they are not the cheapest Internet store to buy from, but you get what you pay for. I like the free shipping, especially on small items like these. I use these screws/washers in my rack and have had them in there for years of moving around. No problems. Cheers, Mike T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nice keetee Posted July 28, 2010 Members Share Posted July 28, 2010 Rubber- no, Nylon yes time flies and rubber gets funky in a bad way over time, overcompresses if overtightened too-splits easy. go nylon. or delrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
