I know this is going to sound silly, but check out Zheng Hao synthetic pads. They're supposed to be copies of Valentino pads, but they are somehow the most forgiving and easy to install pads I've ever used. They cost about $0.25 apiece but they take awhile to ship from China. I keep these pads around for toneholes that are damaged to the point that no other pad will seal. Leather pads are also much easier to seat than regular skin pads so if you don't like the idea of synthetic pads consider that as a second option. Both of these options will also last longer than synthetic pads.

Also no need to get an alcohol lamp. A simple butane lighter is great for DIY instrument repair if you are on a budget.
