DIY Icon UCA Cap Adhesive Rings

If you don't have a buddy who has a laser cutter or sticker machine (I believe they're die cut), here's one way to make your own adhesive rings.

I don't mind paying $10 for 2 sets of rings but pretty much everywhere I find them for sale shipping is $7-$15. That's way too much IMO. I did find one place that was either free shipping or shipping was like $2-$3, I forget, but it took a while to get them. My guess is they don't stock them (at the time, may be different now), they ended up sending me a new set of caps so that was worth the wait.

OD is 60mm/2.362", ID is roughly 44.2mm/1.740" (varies on the 2 set of caps I have). ID of the adhesive ring is larger to allow for adjustment so 45.2mm/1.780"

I purchased 20 of these 60mm⌀ double sided adhesive foam discs. 5 for $1.99 shipped from China. (Not the seller I purchased from, they were $1.89 when I purchased them, there are other sellers also)

I used a circle cutter to make the rings. I set the cutter to .89" to cut 1.780" ID.




Used a center finder to mark center.



To make it easier I used some tape to hold the discs down but you don't need to depending on how you use the circle cutter.



You don't even have to buy pre cut discs, with the circle cutter you could make them from a whole sheet of adhesive foam. I'll buy the discs again if/when I need more but I should be good for a long time. Cheap & easy!
