I have made a round bottom bowl which sits in a stand resembling an inverted bowl with the bottom cut out.
When sitting on it's stand it wants to move around too easily. Need suggestions for what to use in the interface to minimize this. Felt?
It's not that--it fits perfectly, but two polished surfaces slip and slide.
How about some of those small, round, clear plastic bumpers you use to silence cabinet doors. You might be able to relieve them into the base so that they barely sit proud of the surface. Being clear they might be almost invisible.

Sounds do-able. Thanks.
This is going to be as low-tech as it comes. Go to the dollar store, buy a silicone basting brush. They're useless. Cut off all the "hairs". Equidistant on the rim of your stand, drill 3 small holes, just big enough for 1 hair. Stick the little bugger in with a drop of glue and trim it so it just barely protrudes. even a 1/32 of an inch is enough. There you have it, 3 little bumpers that will hold your bowl. These brushes come in a variety of colours so get a few and match the colour to the wood of the stand if you wish.

I'm going to try the little plastic bumps first, but will keep that in mind. I have already textured the bowl at the bottom but can't do it where it meets the base. Thanks.
ISTR that 3M makes a two-sided clear adhesive tape. A couple small spots of that ought to do the trick. Especially if the small spots are opposite each on the on the bowl & base.

Nails. :)
I'd have to see a picture of it to be sure, but how about a thin bead of silicone caulk on the bearing surface of the base? Brian
What about gluing a ring of bicycle inertube to the iner rim of the stand?
good luck paul
