Austyn Report post Posted January 20, 2016 Hey, I've been interested in making leather mouse pads. I've made a few and the only problem is they slide around a bit... But can I apply/do on the bottom of the leather so it holds in place. Thanks What can I apply/do*** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SRT Report post Posted January 20, 2016 Hi Austyn, I glue felt on the bottom of mouse pads I make. I buy sheets of it from Hobby Lobby and Michael's and it works great at keeping the pads from sliding around. Regards, Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oakley Report post Posted January 20, 2016 You can also use suede or leather which is a bit rough. That works for me quite well, even on glass tables. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thunter9 Report post Posted January 20, 2016 how much do you need I might be able to find some kembro ,that was used years ago. last time I ordered it they send me all they had. its probly still setting on the shelf at work. there were 4-5 sheets 1 meter x 1 meter . this stuff is like what the bottom of pads feel like . its grey in color 1/8 - 3/16 thick this was what we covered the prosthetic leather sockets with for the removable liners its probley some of the last that's around. they are not do like that any more . now they use gel liners, or foam . either pelite or bocklite . you might try a company call best foam they sell different colors and different density from 1/16---1 inch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colt W Knight Report post Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) My daily use mouse pad is one I made with ~8-10 oz vegtan with a picture of my fiancé tooled on it. I glued on a wool felt back, and stitched around the edge. Shows no sign of wear after 3 years of use. I use it with a balless mouse If you buy felt, I recommend getting wool felt from a fabric store by the yard. Wool felt wont fuzz out bad like the inexpensive polyester felts Edited January 21, 2016 by Colt W Knight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt T Report post Posted January 21, 2016 I made a leather mousepad for myself and put deer leather on the back. Works great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
