Subj: Re: [kl] Pads: Single versus Double Bladder (It does not matter)

On the subject of pads, I have a question:

I've encountered repair craftsmen (who sponsor Sneezy.org, even) who
recommend old (pre-Rico-buyout Valentino) foam pads. And cork pads seem to
be popular with some people.

Would anyone like to share their opinions on why/when one might or might not
want to use these alternatives? The only things I already know about are the
relative stability of these materials under varying conditions of
temperature, humidity, and moisture. But there must be some good reason that
they don't see enjoy wider use....
