What comes to putting back part back together, I'll see what kind of glue I can find from garage. I'm also gonna put some clear silicone on bottom of side parts. I think it's gonna work great as a nonslip substance. Just have to figure out how to make it flat.
If you have self-leveling silicone, it may flatten out on its own. I clamp together 40 or 50 wooden stands and brush this rubber compound across the bottom by hand. It levels out a little, but not too much. I didn't apply the rubber compound to the acrylic stands because it wouldn't stick (for long, anyway). In the last batch, I removed some of the non-slip compound toward the middle of the arms, because it was occasionally causing some stands to wobble a bit. Most people receiving their stands this coming week should see this change.

Let me know how it works.

I've also considered sanding the bottom of the acrylic stands and applying a no-slip compound...

As for the 5800 stand pictures, wow! I've never seen one before, I can't believe how much my stand resembles the 5800 stand. I'll have to see what I can do about making a folding one...
