back of laptop quite hot (insulation wore off)

[[email protected]]

I have a 2-year old laptop that had some felt-like insulation adhered
to the back of a metal plate. It wore off over time and now the hot
metal can contact me skin when picking up the laptop or having it on my
lap.
Does anyone have any ideas on some material I can attach that would be
similar.
I guess I am searching for some time of adhesive backed foam or rubber.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure he'd want to use duck tape, because duct tape would be
way sticky and messy when it got hot.

Only problem is, I have no idea what sort of tape ducks use.

Instead, I'd clean up the site real well and apply a layer of felt with
automotive trim adhesive, or gorilla snot.

But there's also Duck(R) brand tapes from Henkel Consumer Adhesives,
Inc. They make several grades of Duck Tape, the most common being a
cheap grade of duct tape that carries the warning, "Not to be used on
heating appliances."

Have you been reading verse 12 of the Rubaiyat, by Omar Khayyam?

A Book of Verses underneath the Bough,
A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread--and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness--
Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!
