Our framer friends asked for our adhesive-backed felt in thin strips for cushioning the rabbets in their frames. A limited supply is back on the shelves!
Our current iteration comes in 1/4" and 1/2" widths. Each sales unit contains three rolls. Each roll is 10 yards long (so a total of 30 yards per sales unit).
Additionally, few odd sized rolls will be showing up in the next little while over on the Odd Lots page, so go check that out as well.

Polyolefin 2:1 Heat-shrink Tubing
+ Click For Details
This clear flexible tubing is an ideal padding material for brass rod. It shrinks quickly and evenly with a heat gun at temperatures of 275°F/135°C. When freely recovered it will reduce down to 50% of its original inside diameter. Our polyolefin tubing is non-flame-retardant because of potential off-gassing problems associated with flame-retardant materials.
Sold in 12" lengths, 6 lengths per pack.
