Hi folks, I've been reading through some posts and see there are a lot of ways to insulate or encase your piezo.
I was thinking of wrapping it In foam and sandwich between two bottle tops and then wrapping electrical tape around. Any thoughts on this set up?
I see some people are using hot glue directly onto thr box.....does this work in reducing feedback?
Cheers

on my two 1-stringers I sandwiched the disc in cutup pbr can. Works great so far. There is a line of mechanics tape that looks metallic like aluminum, maybe used on muffler repairs. Might try that next.
I personally wouldn't wrap it in foam; however, I'm pretty sure others have done this with acceptable results. Piezos work by direct transfer of vibration. You can hot glue or silicone it directly under the bridge location on the underside of the lid, then dump more silicone or hot glue on top of that. This will indeed reduce feedback. You can also encase one in a thin wood sandwich. Or even apply it, as Randy says, with double stick tape.
