Guys, on some of the RV websites I've noticed work benches covered with some sort of protective cover, which  

I'm assuming is there to prevent scratches on metal parts. I would appreciate any input as to what is used and 

where to get it.  

  

Thanks,    Walt Shipley

I used the liner material for tool boxes.Â  You can buy it by the roll at Sears (as well as other places).Â  Do a Google search for â€œtool drawer linerâ€. Itâ€™s typically to keep tools from sliding around inside the tool box, but it also helps keep parts from sliding around on the bench!Â  Plus as you say, it helps keep scratches to a minimum.  

   

I believe there are several styles available.Â  Mine had small holes throughout it that helped separate the metal chips from part.  

   

Hope that helps.

Walt,

 I don't have a web page. I use carpeting scraps to prevent scratching of aluminum sheet parts. I usually place this on the work bench just prior to removing the plastic coating. This is usually for the dimpling process.

 I simply go to my local carpet supplier and check out the dumpster behind his shop. Another material you can use is cork sheet. This is used under carpeting & laminate flooring. Home Depot carries it, in case you can't find any in the dumpster!

Walt,  I have used the light weight rubber  mats you can get at Fleet Farm or Home Depot, however, pine table tops are just  fine or whatever material you have available.  I'm moving my project to the  hangar this week and making a few more tables.  Good  luck!

Try short mesh carpet (I think they call it  berber).  That's what I use and it works great.

 Old timers have used and I continue to use a corrugated cardboard bench cover.  It's cheap, usually free, and heavier versions make a good surface for working on.  The smooth surface does not retain particulates and a brushing followed by a bare handed wipe makes a clean enough area that you can slide aluminum around without scratching it.

Walt,

 Try kitchen drawer liner from Big Lots, perforated  foam rubber,  bright, soft and non slip.

I built the EAA chapter 1000 work tables.  About the same time, I  found these 2X5' mats at Woodcrafters.  They are thick rubber, made for  standing on.  Perfect fit for the benches.  Firm but totally protect  aluminum.

I used non-skid rug underlayment.  It appears to be like a fine mesh, knotted netting that has been dipped in a soft foam rubber material.  The end result is a very flexible sheet of what looks like small beads stuck to each other.  The softness cushions the wing skins, the non-skid aspect keeps your work from sliding around, and the gaps / holes in the material provide a place for drilling and deburring chips etc to go such that they can't scratch the aluminum. It can be gotten as drawer liner, but it is MUCH cheaper to get it as rug underlayment from Target, Wally world, or some such.
