Wool Felt for trailer fixtures now on Ebay

[Steve Koerner]

Pilots often ask me about sources of felt to fix-up their trailer
fixtures and wing stands. I've just posted some remnant material
from Wing Rigger production on Ebay. This is very good stuff that
will hold up for a long time -- it's 1/4" thick high density gray
felt. Rolls offered:

12" X 15' ebay 160781459345
12" X 12' ebay 160781458753
10" X 7' ebay 160781460505
10" X 7' ebay 160781461866

Come now, Tim! Steve Koerner is better known this side of the Rockies than you are and there probably isn't a gliding club that doesn't have at least one of his WingRiggers. I'd hardly call him "some unknown seller".

I do agree, however, that McMasters is a great source for a lot of cool hardware.

he didn't say "I have the felt " he said go to ebay "the" place where anyone
who wants to remain an anonymous seller. It's like signing a message on a
newsgroup as "mike".... or Mike the Strike rather than simply saying who the
message is really from.

I do stand corrected.
I didn't read the original message again before my last response where he
said he to the newsgroup he was the one who had listed the felt on ebay

McMaster is a great resource but they sure are proud of their inventory. I use them as supplier of last resort on most purchases. Recently I needed a bulk of closed cell foam. Their price was 400% higher than Foam Factory.

One of our club members is rebuilding his trailer and reported that McMaster's felt was substantially higher than what he eventually bought from an internet search. That being said, they do have anything and everything a tinkerer could need.

and I can almost always order from McMaster Carr at 4PM and have it here the
next day by 10AM, (I am in one of their 1 day shipping areas but they also
have several outlets so are never far from nearly anywhere in the US....
just having a lower price isn't always the same as having what you want
when you want it ..

Steve - I plugged in my zip code for the 10"x7' and got a shipping
cost of $42.50! Zounds! Must be bacause it is USPS expedited
shipping.

When I auction something on eBay I just put in a flat rate for
shipping (and specify lower 48 only). The other option for buy it now
is to make it "free shipping" and bundle the shipping costs into the
price.

Thanks, John

[Steve Koerner]

You're right. I had screwed up the shipping part of the listings.
They do all fit in a large flat rate boxes (the larger rolls take some
scrunching) -- I've adjusted the 4 listings accordingly.

I love McMaster Carr also. I've recommended them to many folks for
felt and other things. The premise of my post here is that buying my
remnants should be a better deal than McMaster or anyone else. If you
want to do a price comparison look at type F7 1/4" thickness, that's
the dense felt that I use on Wing Rigger saddles. I don't recommend
the adhesive backed stuff.

I just re-felted the fuselage and wing dolly's of my trailer and acquired a more than sufficient supply of thick, sturdy felt from the local upholstery supplier.

A call to a few local re-upholsterer's pointed me in the right direction towards their supplier.

I bought it without an adhesive backing, the upholstery supply personnel recommended using 3M brand spray contact cement, which they also had on hand and worked like a champ.

I was on my way for ~$40 total, including spending 15 bucks for the contact cement.
