Padding the pommel
- Cut another piece of high impact foam 1-3/4" wide and 9.5-10" long. This piece should be wide enough to cover the height of the pipe cap plus about 1/4" on either end. It should be long enough to wrap completely around the circumference of the cap.
- Cut a square of the high-impact foam 1-3/4" on a side and cut off the corners of this piece to give an octagonal shape.
- Apply the spray adhesive to the long piece and wrap it around the pipecap.
Try not to compress this foam too much.
- Apply the spray adhesive to the octagon and stick it in the opening at the
butt end of the pommel.
- Use the left-over strip from the edge and any other stray pieces you need
to pad the inner portion of the pommel, applying the spray adhesive
as necessary to hold the foam.
- Use duct tape to cover and protect the foam covering the pommel. You can
use the duct tape to shape the pommel, somewhat, by compressing
parts of the foam a little.
