Step 5Make It Pretty
Although the mount is usable as it is, this still leaves a lot of raw screw threads exposed. Despite my best efforts to clean them, there is still some black powder (graphite) deep in the threads, just waiting to leave traces on something when it is least convenient to do so. It's worth covering up the threads.
For my cover, I used black craft foam. It costs no more than $1 for a large sheet and can be cut to size with scissors. Sheets are available with a self-stick backing and even a piece of tape under the foam will work, but I used ordinary white glue to attach this one. Simply cut a sheet of the material to fit the exposed threads and fix it into place. Do not use the cyanoacrylate glue to attach this.
