I doubt this application is very critical, but a while back I needed to replace the felt gaskets on the exhaust blowers on my M43 ambulance. Finding nothing in the fabric stores that was any good, I went to McMaster-Carr and ordered half a dozen sheets of industrial felt of various thicknesses and hardnesses. It turns out industrial felt is a well-defined material with various grades that specify its density as well as its thickness. It's all wool, with no synthetics. After having made do with thin fabric-store "craft" felt on various projects, it's nice to have a small stock of the good stuff to draw on when I need a piece.
