Rest/plate material - best I've found

[CalArcher]

Best I've found, available from Grainger:

Felt, F1, 1/16" Thick, 1" x 12"

•   Felt Strip
•   Wool Felt
•   Backing Type Adhesive
•   Thickness 1/16 In
•   Width 1 In
•   F1 Grade
•   Off White Color
•   Density 1 Lbs/Sq Yd
•   Max Temp 200 F
•   Vibration Absorption High
•   Abrasion Resistance Excellent
•   Durometer 30 to 40 Shore A
•   Tensile Strength 500 PSI
•   Hardness Extra Firm

After I cut to desired shape, I gently stroke with a lighter; just enough to burn off loose hairs. Then, peel off adhesive strip and firmly apply. The brown toasted hairs eventually wear off and you're left with a clean high performing rest/plate.

I like the fuzzy side of velcro. Get it at Wal-Mart

Industrial grade velcro is my choice.

Wool fleece cut from a buffing pad. Trim down to about 1/4 inch. Wears forever, never burns......
