Clear glass transit pads available?

Traveller · 18 Jan 2014

Hi all.

I am trying to find a suitable type of pad like glass transit pads but in 'clear' and not blue or the other colours they are usually available in. I have tried cupboard door bumper pads but the glass keeps slipping on the surface I want it to sit on. I only tried the small round, raised types. Would bigger ones that are flat and square work any better?

Is there anything like in the link below, available in the UK? I notice that there is a comment at the bottom which says that they don't work and a few about it making marks on the furniture but anything similar would be good. They do seem a little big but I could always cut them.

Thanks.

Thanks for the links, pinenot.

The problem I had with the cupboard door bumpers were that even though the material they were made from was not hard plastic, the glass still moved on them and the entire bumpers moved also, even though the adhesive seemed adequate in fixing the bumper to the surface.

The product in the first link is very similar to the door bumpers I tried. A comment for the product in the second link indicates that the glass slides on the surface. The product in the third link does claim to be "non-slip" and the product in the fourth link claims to have a "high-strength adhesive". A combination of the third and fourth products might work!

The reasons I was hoping for something like glass transit pads were that the glass does not seem to slide at all and they don't have any permanent adhesive, which means they can be repositioned numerous times without affecting the 'stickability'

Thanks, your suggestions have been appreciated. The third and fourth links may be worth looking into.

I'm glad there's some hope...pinenot
