I hope I've posted this in the right place!!
A while back when you were all helping me with setting up my HH torch, someone suggested using a gel wrist rest to lean your elbows on. Having not long had a tennis elbow release, I could use something to stop my elbow hurting when I lean on it, so thought about using this tip but cutting the rest in half so I have 2 rests to lean on. Probably a daft question, but having not cut one up before, is it really gel inside and therefore will leak, or is a kind of foam?
Many thanks, I know someone will know the answer!
Errr...it probably is gelly stuff. I recommend gaffer tape. Or get two of 'em.
i've never personally cut one up but my friend had one and it ruptured and leaked everywhere and ruined her desk so im guessing it might not work, a much cheaper version would be a loo roll covered in tin foil like sharon peter's had at Flame off, it looked very comfy and if i didnt have arm rests already that would be what i would use!

Oh - how did I forget?!!! The loo roll covered in tin foil is a classic design masterpiece and very comfy. Better than a creation station too...
Its definitely gel inside - I have two and they're covered in plasters cos when bits of hot glass land on them, they leak gel-ly gooey sticky stuff .... eeeeeuuuuwwww :o :o ;D
I use two jumbo car washing sponges.
I think the gel thingy would make a horrible mess.

I would try to not lean on your elbows at all - I always did, until recently and my arms are buggered at the moment from it!
If you already have tennis elbow problems, its asking for trouble.
I have found that putting the gel rests on top of loo rolls though and resting my forearms on them is a good compromise and my arms have been a lot less painful since I stopped resting on my elbows.

So last month :D
Fast responses, thanks [sorry, my internet went down last night].
OK, not gel then! Will try foil covered loo rolls. I guess I'm still trying to find a comfortable working position.
Thanks for the suggestions.
