new scrub board handle "stress"

[sparkycrew]

hy guys,so for christmas as a stocking filler i got a scrub board handle for my scrub board,nice i thought,then the hassle started,the supplied screws are not as in the picture,ok i thought il get some longer stainless steel ones,so sorted ready to fit,but whats this i hear myself say,the handle is moulded in two differant compounds,difficult to explain or photo,it has a harder resin strip and the upper half of the handle is soft foam,the bolts heads sink into the foam and pull down onto harder resin section when tightened,this is how the handle should be right?

well my handle is soft on the lower section that sits against the board and hard resin on the upper section,the bit iam going to hit my head on,it looks to me to have been moulded backwards,can some one please advise me correctly before it becomes bin fodder

my scrub handle was crap and wobbled. I cut the foam away neatly on the bottom of the holes same size as a washer, packed it out with washers (where the foam 1s was) now its solid and much better.

cheers buddy,looks like thats how they are made then,will do as you did and washer up the soft foam so the bolt clamps the handle down solid,still think its moulded backwards,still for a tenner what do you expect

mines foam top and bottom, just neatly removed the foam from around all the holes .
