Without knowing any better I've used a foam routing mat for 10 years on my bench without any ill effects. I also made a guitar vice using drawer liners to protect the box. I may have been lucky, but I haven't noticed any issues. Is there any reason I shouldn't keep using them? Do you think that objectionable chemicals would dissipate over time (although, I never did have any issues... No problems with finishes...)

From what I am understanding it is more about the "time" its left on the surface . if you are like myself when I'm not working on them they are in the case or ona stand . not laying on the questionable materials

I use old bath towels. I put the neck in the vise if I don't want the guitar to slide around. Would be nice to have something that would protect the finish and was non-slip AND would not be a magnet for metal shavings and other finish killers.

Me too. I'm always asking my wife to buy new towels so I can use the old ones. Toss them in the washer and they are good for a year of use.
