Making a dew shield, what do I need?

[Chris]

+1 again for craft foam,

Do you have a Range near you? I bought 2x A4 black pieces of craft foam and some really good sticky velcro from from the Range and used the stuff very succesfully as dew shield on my 200p. I liked it so much I went back only yestarday so I could make one for my ED80. This time I even spashed out 50p on a piece of jet black felt to flock the inside of the dew shield so this time I will be making the delux model

I'll take some pics whilst I'm making it and post them in the DIY section, a simple but effective little project to do:)

this is my go...

go-outdoors matt (they didnt have black, but will flock outside too)

the matt was double layered, so stripped 5mm back at the top and added a DIY dew heater...just in case.

Mine is much the same as the others, camping matt taped together with notches around the spider screws. After a while it deformed feom being stuffed in my car etc, so i reinforced it with a pair of embroidery rings, now it's solid as a rock.
