Title: bubble wrap + peli foam
Post by: saxophoner on March 19, 2007, 05:32:36 PM
got a pelican case today in the mail, got the mics in it and when i tip the case upside down i can hear the mics tapping the roof/lid.  i was thinking about putting a small roll, sharpie marker thickness, of bubble wrap in there to hold the mics firmly in place.  do you think the plastic/foam will have cause a static discharge or something bad?  i remember seeing that post about the peli foam shocking the mics, would introducing plastic to it make a charge or set me up for frusteration?

thanks

Super glue is funky stuff.. don't know if the fumes would be good in that enclosed space?  Maybe a hot glue would be less reactive after curing?



yea I wouldn't use CA glue either.  If you have some elmers around and can let it sit for a few days that would work if you don't have hot glue.
