Hmm, felt pads might work well. Epoxy doesn't seem to bond permanently
with the nylon or teflon. I might hold off on felt for a short time
though, since felt would wear down quickly on anything but a smooth
surface (but at the same time, it might work to trap dust and lint and
such, which would be a "good thing").
