RC45 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Can anyone suggest a material to line my gun cabinet? Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomV Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Why do you need to line it? My bratonsound came with a foam pad for the bottom, this should suffice if you have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveB916 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Some spray on adhesive and old/offcuts of carpet, stops any condensation too. :blink: Dave B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 mine came lined with some spongey foam stuff, get a couple of sheets and cut it to fit :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookbones Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 sticky backed carpet tiles,n the bottom has a square of spiked foam ...i have a micro rechargeable dehumidifier in there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I used some stiff foam sheets that I have spare. I lined the two sides and back which stops all the clanging about of the guns whilst taking them in and out the cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC45 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Thanks for the replies.. I am running out of room and sometimes the guns get clouted on the side of the cabinet. Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbuss Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Not sure why you'd want to unless its a very ornate oak clad peice of bespoke furniture. A bit OTT for a small Brattonsound type cabinet perhaps? :blink: Burt if you do, perhaps some green baize al la snooker table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenshooter Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Thin rubber backed carpet and spray glue worked a treat on mine 15 yrs ago and still as good as new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sycamorebirds Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'm just about to line mine with a foam roll mat, from millets \9used to go under sleeping bags) stick it in with double sided tape. Malc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 If you line it with carpet tiles to protect the guns from condensation, doesn't water just gather in the tiles and rot them? Or does it not gather as much as it would on the guns as the carpet is warmer than the gun metal? Cheers, Giles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Beast Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 dont see the point in lining it personally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC45 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 dont see the point in lining it personally? Some do and some don't. I wanted to line mine because I don't want to scratch the but on the metal cabinet. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon-richardwall Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 if you had some strides on you wouldn't scratch your butt on the metal just lined my gun case with old bits of carpit and it has done a good job and only took 2 mins..

notsosureshot Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I've got some carpet off cuts and a foam pad for the bottom. If you're really posh, you could line it with Wilton **** pile or cashmere! I also scatter some pouches of silica gel to collect moisture. These have a limited life and tend to come with new electrical products, particularly computer cases it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
