Eric,

I've heard yeah and nay.

For ONE INCH, it's considered "OK".. but NEVER stack 'em to get more. 
BAD BAD.

Some people have concerns about the rubber puck deteriorating.. which I
can see, given the conditions the rubber is in, and the copious amounts
of oil and grease and other fluids spewed forth from our 'Binders.

Do it.. but check it periodically.

Also, be sure to get the GOOD pucks.. there *is* a difference.  Cheap
pucks are DEFINITELY not something to use when your safety matters...
