This is a new "state of the art" modification for Paterson orbital (really an adapter) to avoid film sticking into the base.
A black sheet of polypropylene (registered trademark Plakene) is used to avoid any damage in the orbital base.
This polypropylene sheet can have holes to allow red pins attaching into the base as with normal operation.
There is also a corner clip to allow easy extraction of polypropylene sheet.
This allows any temporal modification without damage to our precious Paterson Orbital.

Background of the invention:
A) roughening the base:

B) aplying silicone or epoxy directly into the base:
