I've had great success with small squares of stain glass scrap that my
mother-in-law provides. She does stain glass work, and doesn't mind making
small squares, even grinds/polishs the edges so they are not sharp. They
are uniform in thickness, can be color coordinated, and are stackable to
change the pot to the desired height. Non water absorbing (or course), adds
no chemicals to the water, never rots. I use these for small pots normally,
but perhaps this could be adapted to larger pots as well? I would think
using silicon cement to "build up" pads or platforms for larger pots in
large trays may be a good option. Good Luck!

My question is can anyone think of something better we can use. I'd
like it to sit high enough that the pot cannot wick water into the
drainage hole. I'd like it to show off the feet on pots that have them.
I'd like it to be as invisible as possible. I'd like it to be cheap and
easy to find or buy. It needs to be water proof and uniform/level
enough to hold small or large pots (with and without feet) and most of
all I'd like it to be easy to clean. Wood strips? Masonry pieces?
Furniture blocks?

Any ideas?
