You know the stuff that lines the inside of some older slip on lens caps?
I found this but I'm betting it's too thick at 1mm; http://www.findtape.com/product412/...5&idx=1&tid=1&info=Felt+Tape+(Adhesive-Backed)
Anyone find anything better suited for the job?
Thanks!

Your link looks good. Other than that, you might try some fabric stores. My experience is felt is rather hard to find. You might want to go for your link if nobody comes up with a better suggestion.
Oh, you might try for velvet in fabric stores as well for what you want.

For the job you are doing I used some of the felt that came in an interslice light sealing kit off of ebay by john goodman.

Thanks guys, the more I look around that 1st link may be pretty close. The little scraps I have are about .030" and this stuff if I'm reading it right is .039" without the backing tape.
A lifetime supply for $10 though shipping is more than that...

Looks like it's going to work well.

Let us know how it works out. It seems awfully thin. I need a felt for 9x12 film holders, but am going to try some velvet.
