Attach Neoprene Feet 

 

Use  a  clear  silicone  sealer 

(like Dap Silicone, Dow Silicone, etc…)

  to  attach  the 

(#7) 

neoprene feet

 onto the bottoms of the feet assembled on the legs. Apply silicone to one 

side of the neoprene pads. Cover the entire surface with a thin layer. Place the pad on 
the metal foot with the large hole matching orientation. Apply even pressure to the pads 
to ensure there are no voids between the pad and foot left unfilled. After doing the even 
pressure method, press on the pad and slide the pad on the foot ever-so-slightly in a 
figure-8 pattern. This will ensure even spread of the adhesive.
