Rubber Baby Bumpers

[t-dub]

Would definitely put something to cushion that sink, the video makes me feel tense

And he was so right, thanks Roger In an effort to try and stop breaking glass (ha ha never going to happen ) I have installed some, you guessed it, "Rubber Baby Bumpers". Now finding this solution wasn't straight forward. I first looked at lab glass counter solutions and such, but they were quite expensive. Finally I realized that bar tenders work with wet glass all the time and then I found my new love: The Spill-Stop bar service mat You know, that ubiquitous rubber mat that all the drinks get made on? Yep, and for $15 its a steal. Turns out this thing is perfect. Its flexible, holds tons of liquid, and keeps glass in place and super cushioned. Spill stop also makes interlocking mat/shelf liner which I cut to shape and placed in the bottom of my sink. This really helps things drain and dry as well as cushioning glass. There is even an anti-bacterial variety available. The bar mesh, which comes in big rolls and is sold by the foot, is interesting but a little "plasticy" for my taste. Still, I have lined my service tray with it. The last and only ingredient I have not found yet is some kind of sticky rubber that will adhere to the sides of my stainless steel sink. There are some rubber "rug secure" (Ruggies?) things I am looking at. Buying these items on-line can be problematic because of shipping so I recommend your local restaurant/bar supply shop. I was able to obtain all products locally at Internet prices.

In all seriousness, very neat!
If they hold lots of liquid, do you just let it air-dry after getting it wet? Or just flip it upside down over the sink to drain out the excess?

For just a small amount of liquid I will let it air dry, but for larger amounts, it easily folds and drains into the sink

I have been using this for months. It's so awesome, especially for rinse.
