WTB Felt

[jorogi]

I need to make two way wipers for the Meuser and will need two 1 1/2" squares of 3/16" felt.
Does anyone have some spare or know of a source other than McC ?

Maybe you could use a suitable substitute like this. The grey one is 5mm, pretty close.

I have a bit spare. 3/16 hard - what I used on my V10P.
Canada post will get it there in a couple of days.

Try and get real felt, not synthetic felt. Last felt I bought at Lee Valley for way wippers.

I looked there on line but they didn't show any.

Are you local to Victoria @jorogi?

Have you checked local craft stores such as Michaels or DollarRama? They have felt but I'm unsure if it is wool or synthetic.

Just curious, why would it make a difference in this application?

3 /16 " ?
That would be great, I'm in your neighborhood tomorrow.

It's 1/8" actually

Ok, I'll hold out for Arbutus as his is 3/16", but thanks.

 

[Arbutus]

Its on the way.

 

[jorogi]

Woo hoo, cheers.

I tried the cheap stuff, then real felt, the real stuff deposited a lovely film on my bed ways and wicks nicely.
