    Best solution for adding a shelf with lip to this keyboard stand

    I've got a third layer on my keyboard stand, but rather than adding another keyboard to it I want to add a shelf which spans the arms on which I can place several smaller pieces of equipment. Weight of the equipment will be around 5-6kg, but obviously most of that will be supported by the...

Googling brought up these sealing strips from Australia but I want to know whether something like the DS-13 strip is available...
