On the subject of feet, why do some expensive equipment use conical feet? (Blue Hawaii, some of RSA's stuff)

m1abrams,
just make sure you have some surface area on the feet to attach as much of tape as possible. you may want to ruff up the side of the feet that will have tape with some 60 grit sandpaper or a Dremel sanding drum.

btw, what are you building?
yep that's exactly what I used and it works great - transparent and thin 3M

something about attenuating and controlling vibrations, also creates a market for audiophile feet to stop the audiophile spikes ruining whatever you put them on.

People might be surprised how often double sided tape is used in the construction industry. That screwless cabinet fascia in your kitchen or bathroom may well be held on with double sided tape. Mirrors have been held onto walls for years with double sided tape. It's pretty good stuff.

I think we all just like the idea of mechanical fastener, but there are alternatives that are at least as good.

To stop clock crystal jitter, no doubt.
