Hi - you can also use silicone bakeware. I've a pie dish that I trimmed part of the side from - leaving most of the outer up-stand intact. My glue gun sits neatly in it - offering side protection as well as base protection. Same as the mat, the glue just peels away afterwards.

Great Tips! You might want to try painter's tape to hold your plans down. It works well.

I cane up with an awesome way to make hinges that ill post tonight. You squirt some glue on the nat and fold the mat in half and then trim the glue film to size. I used this on the bottom part of my um sukhoi tail (right above the wheel) it works amazing!
No strain on the servos at all!!
