...okay, believe it or not, until last week, I was using the rubber slipmats that came with my Technics. Believe it or not, I was able to mix with them.
Anyways, now that I have felts, I assume that they go ontop of the platter directly, right?

Atleast some people are honest about things and don't try to add in the usual story..."oh my friend just did "x" and I was wondering what effect it will have on "y" etc :P

It was kind of amusing really. I was somewhat aware that DJs were using felt slipmats in clubs (having spent a bunch of time in DJ booths), but I just kind of didn't use anything but the rubber ones since I bought the tables in mid-January.
heh for a while i was spinning with the slipmats on top of the rubber thing...till my friend told me that i didnt need it because it just creates more friction

WOW, I have a new wrinkle in my brain, I've been spinning for a year now and did away with the technic slipmats they came with and put felt ones on top of the rubber. I must change this right away. Thanks for bringing the subject up.
waxpaper is like...the stuff that a bar of crisco comes in
i can't explain it any other way
its the same idea as tin foil and seran(sp?) wrap
my techs came with a plastic sheet to put under my slip mats
i thought all techs did?
well regardless it doesn't make a huge difference

It's also what a butcher shop would use to package meat (a real butcher shop, not Safeways, IGA, Save on Foods, Sobeys, etc.).
I must change this right away. Thanks for bringing the subject up.
