IF YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR OLD CHEAPO OR EXPENSIVE LIGATURE SO MUCH BETTER LIKE THE WINSLOW TAKE A 1/8″ HOLE PUNCH AND SOME 1/8″ THICK DENSE NEOPRENE RUBBER OR SILICONE RUBBER. PUNCH OUT 4 OF THESE PIECES THAT WILL BE GLUED IN EACH OF THE 4 CORNERS OF THE LIGATURE. USE SILICONE RTV ADHESIVE AS THIS WORKS GREAT BECAUSE IT GIVES THE BASE OF THE NEOPRENE RUBBER OR SILICONE A GOOD SOLID CUSHION. ALLOW THIS TO DRY FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS. IF YOU WANT TO TALE IT A STEP FURTHER DO THE TOP OF THE LIGATURE THE SAME WAY IN THE 4 CORNERS. YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO USE A SLIGHTLY LARGER LIGATURE BUT THE RESULTS ARE FANTASTIC. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR MANY YEARS. GREAT WAY OF SAVING A BUNCH OF MONEY AND CREATING YOUR OWN SYSTEM. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT.
