Why not get some food grade silicone sealant, put a line of it ontop of each side of the fork and let it dry overnight? It won't look elegant, but I think would work.

I used to have a Vario and I used tubing on it's portaholder. Worked great and didn't look chintzy. back to top __________ Senior Member Joined: 12 Sep 2006 Posts: 756 Location: .

I didn't find the portafilter was moving though - I did it because the metal edge was scratching the hard plastic handle of the portafilters I then had.  Current portafilters have rubberised handles anyway, so probably don't need it any more, but it's still there. back to top calblacksmith Moderator Joined: 25 Nov 2007 Posts: 5,661 Location: Riverside, Ca, U.S.A.

Its a foam material with adhesive on the back, it comes in different sizes so you can choose the size you need. It can be found at any home improvement stores and it comes in rolls. I used some on my home made tamping stand which I made out of 2 inch channel iron it's in my picture next to this post.   Gery Bastiani back to top DavecUK Senior Member Joined: 21 Sep 2005 Posts: 916 Location: UK Expertise: I love coffee Posted Mon Dec 10, 2012, 7:50pm Subject: Re:good rubber product with a glue backing for the forks of a MM grinder?   I use heat shrink sheathing...works well back to top randychar813 Senior Member Joined: 16 Jan 2012 Posts: 41 Location: Louisiana Expertise: I love coffee Espresso: 95% of time: Izzo Alex...
