Anything better than moleskin for a cheek rest?
I need to add something to my cheek rest, my face gets sweaty and gets slipery on the rest. Anything out there better than moleskin.

I use non-skid tape designed to be put on steps to prevent slips/falls. Similar to skateboard tape. It's not 100% as comfortable as I'd like, but it works really well at keeping my head in the same place.zanemoseley wrote:I need to add something to my cheek rest, my face gets sweaty and gets slipery on the rest.

I like the Cheek-eez stick-on pads made of black Sorbothane and sold by Brownells. Available in 4 different thickness from 1/16" to 1/4" and 5"x6" in dimensions and you can cut to fit. Works well on sweaty days.

I use a product called What A Grip. It is an absorbent material used on the handle of tennis rackets. Works really well.

I remembered we have this thin textured self adhesive grip pad meant for marine non slip applications. I put some on tonight and it looks great and seems better than just wood. I'll post a picture once photobucket decides to start working.

Try a piece of thin leather with a good adhesive..absorbs sweat, no slippage, lasts a long time and cheap

I glued a thin sheet of cork. Works fine. Always warm feeling, absorbs sweat and when a little dirty (darker collor) use some sandpaper to make it new.
