[ATM] Re: ATM pitch mold, opinions needed

I use a rubber car mat with square indentations. Has worked well on 
two four inch mirrors that I have made. I don't think this is a plug 
for any company as many different companies make car mats.

Find one with the deepest 'holes' possible. I found one that gives a 
lap that is about 5mm thick.
