I just tried it and it seems to work.

I use peel-and-stick rubber cabinet door bumpers from the hardware
store. They come in various sizes --- white, black, or clear.

Thanks.

I have some and found that the 50mg packs are essentially a use once
proposition. If the tube is partly used, the stuff left in the tube
hardens fairly quickly.

I've been using:
<http://www.awesomegoo.com>
but there's a problem. It's a heat setting rubber compound. Hot
water or hot air will set it almost instantly. Unfortunately, that
makes it useless for anything that will melt when heated, like laptop
plastic parts. The best I've been able to do is make some plaster
molds of the feet, fill the molds with Awesome Goo, and heat with a
hot air gun. Then, I glue the molded feet to the laptop with contact
cement. It's also quite fast, where I don't have to wait overnight
for the rubber to harden. That works quite well, but is tedious
having to make the molds. Might as well buy overpriced rubber feet on
eBay.

Still, hot melt glue seems to be good enough. We'll soon see how long
it lasts.

Or get some rods of coloured hotmelt . Blue is good. Slice off rings,
then hotmelt string and soldering iron to "solder" the discs to the
casing. The laptop I'm using here I added some sectors? 3mm thick discs
cut down to crescent/D shape and glued a few ,flat cut face to casing,
Around the fan outlet. You would think the makers would build
protrusions around fan outlets to stop loose clothing, closing off the
relatively low pressure fan air, but no .
