Rich, you are right! I'd forgotten about that, used to use it for gluing and clamping wood projects. I'll take back that part of my recommendation. But all this talk got me wondering if I still have a chunk of delrin in a shop drawer. Anything applied to block could moosh around or wrinkle, but with a block that's non-interactive, that won't happen. ( I think I actually used a piece of brass flat stock last time)

It just might. If there is a lot of play in the fit up, isn't one approach to use an epoxy bedding material?
