The Hat/Helmet MountBlank (No. 22-271) is used to support hats and hat-like objects. The MountBlank has a 1/4" diameter brass stem, 18" long with a pointed end that is fitted with a 2" x 3" brass plate. It comes with 4" x 8" x 8" Ethafoam block that you carve to fit inside the hat. The pointed stem is then stuck into the carved Ethafoam which is supported by the brass plate. The brass rod is bent to the shape you need to install it into the wall or deck.

Below, the object is placed on its mount.
And here are close-ups of the mount.
Here you can see how the stem is shaped to fit. The carved and fitted Ethafoam has been covered with our polyester stockinette.
Here, we see the underside of the mount where adhesive-backed felt has been applied. You can just see the outline of the brass support-plate under the felt.
