New user, long time lurker. I recently picked up an HSpin Icon. It takes the silicon red pads. These are out of stock, most anywhere. What can I use to replace these? Thanks in advance, Matt. ---

Can you do you own silicon? Or are you talking about what the pads are made of? ---

Yeah, I’ve done silicone. Don’t like to, but have. They have shallow grooves, too. The original was a red silicone ring. I was wondering what other rings would fit into the original grooves, as HSpin rings have run out. ---

Use this as the last resource. Find a pad that has similar thickness and width to the groove. Most likely it will be too big because HSpin uses D bearing (?) iirc. Cut a small section of the pad making it C shaped to the point it can fit into the groove. You may reconnect the cut part with superglue (recommended), or just leave as is. ---

A duncan silicone pad is probably a good start. Disregard finalfantasy9001’s bit. ---
