Interlocking Shims conform to irregular shapes.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 07:39:34 -0500

Usable in variety of shimming applications, Wedgies(TM) feature interlocking surfaces that allow them to be stacked so they can conform to irregular shapes and still maintain their lateral and vertical stability. Rigid polypropylene version is used to plumb or stabilize heavier objects while flexible vinyl version conforms to, protects, and cushions delicate underlying surfaces. Both styles are stable and will not shrink or swell with changes in moisture.
