Recommended bumpers?

[muybridge]

I need about 100 bumpers to apply to lower corners of wooden frames, to protect wall and minimize slipping. Any recommendations? (I did find threads here about leaking bumpers, which I'll watch out for).

I use 3M clear bumpons. You can also use felt

I agree with Ylva - Clear hard plastic or felt are best.

The soft rubber ones are also known as "melting moments" because they will glue the frame to the wall and leave a sticky irremovable mess behind.

Thanks for the replies; I'll put 3M clear bumpons on my list. Any specific felt brands to look for?

I like the ones LJ sells. They are reasonably thick, and have high quality adhesive. I've been using them for years with no complaints.

It sounds like you are looking for a low quantity and haven't mentioned if you have any dealer accounts to buy from. Once in an emergency when my supplier was OOS, I bought these. They worked out well. Amazon probably has others.

I need around 100 bumpers, and do not have dealer/wholesale access. I did see a lot of these on Amazon, but hard to tell what the quality is like.

What's LJ and OOS; dealer suppliers?

LJ is Larson Juhl, a supplier. OOS mean Out Of Stock

You can find the 3M ones on Amazon as well. I like the dome shaped ones

FWIW in case of emergency, you can find most supplies on Amazon at reasonable prices.

We have clear bumpers in many sizes and depths that we sell in smaller quantities. We have used them in our kits for years and have had no complaints about them.
