Re: Making your own synthetic pads

I had missed the beginning post but find the comments and Dan's methodology interesting. This material sounds like what one can buy as Mounting Tape. I have some that is thicker than 1/16 inch....and in general the material sounds something like the "greenback" pad material. I have used "hole cutters"...not Ferrees....to make pads from cork and leather that have been effective if not totally acceptable. Innovation like Dan's is encouraging and is the type that can lead to advances in clarinet making.
However, given the availability of existing readymade pads the advantage would seem to be the personal satisfaction of making your own.
