RawhideLeather Report post Posted February 1, 2011 Howdy folks, I thought I would pass on a source I found on Ebay for high quality wool felt products. He sells the wool felt in fairly small amounts and has all kinds of buffing wheels in different sizes and shapes for honing and buffing. He was nice enough to send small samples of different hardnesses of the felt so I could find which one worked best for edge dyeing. I finally ordered the F5 felt in 3/8" thickness and it works great for dyeing edges once cut up into small rectangular pieces. The F1 felt would also work but is a little harder and has less give to it. I use small binder clips to hold it in and use small plastic clamps to hold the binder clip in - works great for me. I used to use clothespins but found they didn't have enough clamping force for my taste and they also absorb dye unless the wood is sealed - can be messy. I tried the plastic ones but they didn't work to my liking either. I also ordered a 6" hard felt buffing wheel for maintaining an edge on knives, etc. and it works much better than the spiral sewn cloth wheel I was using before and should last a very long time. He sells high quality products that can't be found elsewhere that I know of and is a very nice guy with terrific customer service to boot! Hard to find exceptional customer service these days if you ask me. I'm happy I found him. Here is a link to one of his useful guides on Ebay and you can find his products from this page: http://reviews.ebay....000000009677304 His Ebay name is durof1 and his store name is The Felt Store. Highly recommended! Hope this helps someone. Richard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
