Where do you get this foam insulation you speak of? Is it available at Home Depot? If I can, what is it the name of it?

Home Depot has it. You can also use a velcro which will minimize any vibration and will lower the noise level.

Do you have the name of the foam insulation? I don't know about you, but if I tell any of those guys who work at Home Depot that I need foam insulation, they will give me a blank response. So I need specific information, please.

Go to the door and window insulation section. There you will find it in the correct widths you are looking for. Also will have a sticky side to it to adhere to your frame.

Ok, the other day I bought some velcro fastners with a self adhesive side. I thought of unscrewing the motor from the board and reattaching with the velcro. Well, when I tried that, the board was very jerky in its vibration. The player I had on the board looked like he was doing break dancing instead of running. I haven't tried the foam insulation that you mentioned. Does it have a self adhesive side to it? I'm not sure what else to try, but that is what I have done so far. Please help. I really want to get my board up and running during the summer months for my solitaire league. I also want to show my friends the game of miniature football.

If you use foam insulation with the self adhesive, aren't you permanently attaching the board to the frame? Someone on this thread mentioned about using tissue paper, but what does that do?

you can remove the field any time.

sell in the trading forum. Coach, please give yourself credit if your guy moves after a tweak attempt ....you are on your way but the right tools are essential. I had a fellow Coach seal my motor to my board with clear caulk and . PM Artlax he is a good man in the board issues categories.

I have to work at making the players run more smooth.
