Afraid of the glue goo.
Maybe some thin polycarbonate.

I'll look for that shoe, I think I actuall hd one at one time so it is
probably in the camera cabinet.
But my flash does not have the standard PC connector I think.
It is a unique Nikon connector.
I have a cable for it but I hate to cut it up to use it.

Thanks for the input.
