I recommend Liquid Nails Silicon Adhesive to affix the Carbon Fiber Discs under a component or platform. All it takes is a thin layer in order to provide firm holding power, but the discs can still be pried off and re-used for other projects.

Another project I'm planning for a more vibration-prone application will be a set of four 40mm x 10mm Carbon Fiber Discs adhered under a new DAC, with a set of four Herbie's Audio Lab Tenderfoot feet adhered under the Carbon Fiber Discs. The Carbon Fiber Discs should do well to eliminate any coloration due to the stored-energy capacity of the compliant *decoupling* action that the Tenderfoot feet offer, while providing additional sound wave blocking and resonance dissipation for the more vibration-prone application. No doubt a more audiophile-quality option vs. the more colored sounding Vibrapods and Sorbothane pads tend to provide, IME.

Otherwise, it's amazing how well a rather thin anti-skid pad can do for vibration control when adhered to a 40mm x 10mm Carbon Fiber Disc. The sonic benefit is most notably very good dynamics, with an upfront projection without sounding too forward, with no discernible sonic coloration I can point a finger at.
