Boz, this is not the Pro approach, but it worked for me on an old KM
body.
Forget the foam they sell you for cameras. It's the same crap they sell
for tweeter dispersion on stereo speakers. Just aging in air and
soaking
up good ole Oxygen makes this stuff frailer than your Aunt Jennifer.
Buy some black craft foam sheet, thin as you can find. Cut with
scissors.
Superglue carefully the right size strip in front of your focus screen.
The stuff will last longer, and, I'd guess, damp the mirror better
because
it's stiffer. And much more resistant to oxidation.
This is either insane or a great fix. The choice is yours.
