Pillow case or part of a sheet. I don't cover the closing bar.

I cover it with a plastic sheet after it has cooled down.

I had a custom cover made for mine by Digital Deck Covers. It wasn’t terribly expensive and they might even have the dimensions and pattern on file.

Thanks Pieter. That is what I was hoping to find. I'll reach out to them to see if they kept your order info on file. What year did you make the order with them?
Re: Dry Mount Press Cover?
I like no cover, I dust it, it is not in DR
I worry about leaving it ON or a bump it on
so I unplug it too
Re: Dry Mount Press Cover?
Nothing vinyl. Towels just add to an unwanted lint issue. You want something inert and breathable so you won't get rust, like Tyvek fabric. Or you can get rust resistant breathable machinery covers from woodworking suppliers like Rockler. Make sure the thing is unplugged! Mine is in a room separate from either the darkrooms or shop space per se, so I leave it uncovered.

My darkroom isn't big enough to accommodate a dry mount press. I've got an area of my garage set aside for cutting mattes and mounting prints. That is where my 210M resides. While I keep that area clean, it still gathers dust over time. My preference would be to have Dan (Stone Photo Gear) make me a custom dust cover for my Seal 210M - I absolutely love his work. Unfortunately, his current circumstances does not allow Dan to take custom orders. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Digital Deck Covers can offer a reasonable solution.

My enlargers, slide copier, copy stand, and dry mount are all covered with trash bags when not is use. They come in a variety of colors, but I believe Louis Vuitton has more stylish offerings.
