Somehow the foot to the sander disappeared.

Get Sugru

For the repair I used two packets of Sugru, make sure you cut three sides of the package as indicated.

After removing from the packages kneed then for a few minutes as directed on the package.

Start Molding

Put the Sugru through the hole and start molding to the size you want.

Use a combination square to measure the height needed for the foot. Then use it to flatten the bottom of the shape you made.

Finish Molding

Finalize the shape of the new foot. then let sit a while. I left the sander on its side for a couple days.
