Thanks for the info, Ben.

"Get the Ridenour Thumb saddle or invest some cents into an easily home-made contraption."

DD plays clarinet, and was lucky enough to get a Buffet from my Dad, who played professionally. We had it re-corked, and new pads applied, and a general all-over fix-up. Part of what was "fixed" was that whatever my Dad had put over the screws that attach the thumb rest was gone. After playing for about 45 minutes, dd's thumb was quite red and sore.

She will make the home-made thumb rest, to provide a cushion over the thumb rest screws. And I will be happy knowing it will not damage the instrument!
