Pad for kydex cheek riser

[lennyo3034]

I have a Tac Pro cheek riser on my M25. I can get the perfect height for it, however have issues with my cheek slippy during hot days. I've seen pads made to put on top of the riser for this purpose but am not able to find it at the moment.

Has anyone else seen what I'm talking about? It was on the hide some time ago. I tried skateboard tape, but that was a little rough on the face.

Moleskin found in the foot care department of any drug store works, but not pretty.

Somebody was selling something like what you're referring to in the group buy section recently.

Thanks, looks like that group buy is closed. Is that Seadeck pad the same as the one offered in the group buy? I think the brand on the group buy was stepbrothers.

On my Remy 700 I used velcro and the gel part of a mousepad that supports your wrist. I had it adusted so I could almost get a perfect cheeckweld just by the feel of the pad. Doesn't last forever though, they were not designed for sweaty faces.

I may try that SeaDek product for my PRS stock. Shipping seems kind of expensive for what it is though.

I'd be interested to know how good the adhesive is on the SeaDek. I would assume since its a marine product its fairly good at withstanding the weather. I will probably send the company an email about the shipping, probably something that could fit in a $5 flat rate box.

The adhesive is crazy strong. I tried to remove a torn up piece of that from my boat. Thought the fiberglass was going to come up with it.

I do the same on my M14's plastic cheek rest.

I sent them a question via the form on their website. They had a prompt response and explained that the shipping should be around $6 via USPS, of course depending on the number ordered. Now just have to decided on a color...

I have some SeaDeks coming this week to try. Will post here when they arrive.

Good to know on the shipping - I'll call or email. I had just added four OD Hotspots to my cart and tried to check out and was at $15 and some change for the shipping alone. I could handle $5 or $6 bucks shipping with no issue.

I would like to try a couple doubled up on my PRS cheekpiece.

Forgot to mention that the tan matches the Manners Coyote tan paint really well

You could also try Poron. I think this is the material that Kick Eez uses for their Cheek eze pads. I have been experimenting with some I bought on Amazon and so far so good. The cushioning is good and a 12" x 12" sheet goes a long way.

It comes in black with an adhesive backing. On flat plastic cleaned with alcohol it sticks. On curved surfaces I use neoprene cement adhesive along the edges (available at surf shops for wetsuit repairs).

It comes in different thicknesses and densities. I've used the 0.125" @ firm density, and it works well. Next time around I may try the 0.188" @ soft density.

Here's a link:
